Spurs have gone eight Premier League games without a victory and are one of only two teams – along with Burnley – to fail to win a game in the competition in 2026.

Jacob Ramsey's left-footed strike proved the difference at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, coming just four minutes after Archie Gray had cancelled out Malick Thiaw's opener.

Spurs were booed off at half-time and full-time, and their losing streak is the club's worst since a nine-match run between May and October 2008, which led to Juande Ramos being sacked. 

They have 12 days until their next match, at home to Premier League leader Arsenal, but Frank does not expect the club's hierarchy to use that downtime to make a change.

Asked if he expected to remain at the helm, Frank told reporters: "1,000%. I'm also 1,000% sure I didn't expect us to be in the position we are in, with 11 or 12 injuries. 

"There were a few before me, here at Tottenham and many other clubs, that have lost their heads. I have to stay calm. We have to get through this together.

"I am convinced I will be [in charge]. I understand the question. It is easy to point at me, but it is never only the head coach, ownership, players or staff. It is everyone. 

"Everyone knows what position we are in and what we need to improve on. That is what we are working hard on."

Frank has repeatedly highlighted Spurs' lengthy injury list as a key reason for their struggles, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie among their absentees.

Asked if Spurs' decision-makers understood the impact of those injuries, Frank said: "Of course they understand that. 

"You can put 11 players in a lineup and then you guys can judge. Of course that affects things, but it is my job to find solutions with the players available. 

"If you see them out there, they are running hard. It is tough for them. When you have things going against you, it shows your true colours."

Spurs are just five points clear of the relegation zone in 16th place, though things would have been worse for Frank's men had 18th-placed West Ham not conceded a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Frank warned the grass is not always greener even when replacing a struggling manager, as he said: "I think there are a lot of studies that show it is not the right thing to do. 

"The only thing I am focused on is fighting. We understand we are not in a good situation. But with everything in life, you need to stay calm and keep going."
