Post-Match Reactions: Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland

Thomas Frank on the First Half

After the match, Spurs manager Thomas Frank expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance in the first half but noted they lacked the finishing touch. He stated, “I was pleased with the first half. We created some good chances, but we didn’t convert them.”

“The key point is that we didn’t score a second goal, which could have secured the win. We maintained control throughout the game.”

“The first half was very strong, but in the second half, we weren’t as dominant, although we still had good opportunities. In the Premier League, you can’t just rely on a 1-0 lead.”

Regis Le Bris on Halftime Adjustments

Sunderland’s head coach Regis Le Bris discussed what he told his team at halftime after a lackluster opening period.

He noted, “We started with low energy, but we could still turn it around. In a Premier League match, if you’re not at your best, you usually get punished, but we escaped that.”

“I urged them to focus and execute the basics well. Tactically, we were okay; it was about being composed with the ball. We struggled to win the first contacts, and the game balance reflected that. Our character and quality helped us respond positively.”
