They had to soak up up a ton of pressure from the Eagles whose drip-drip feed of crosses could not quite carve out the opening they desperately needed. In the end the on-target count was edged by S

Weekend roundup: Frank defends Spurs indiscipline, Gunners hold on to summit for Xmas, Eagles flop, QPR soar
Picture: @capitalfootball Thomas Frank has refused to condemn the lack of self-control that saw two Spurs players sent off in Saturday night's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It was not a great night for

Saturday roundup: Relief for Frank's Spurs, good day for Millwall and QPR but tragedy visits the Valley
Picture by @YTJourno Tottenham Hotspur ended a run of six home games in the Premier League without a win when they defeated Brentford 2-0 in N17 this afternoon.

This time, the plaudits went to Richarlison and Xavi Simons, who both scored in the first half. It was Simons' first goal for the club and brought b
