What did we learn about Tottenham Hotspur and how they will play and progress under Thomas Frank as he made his Premier League debut for the club in a victory over Burnley?

Frank used a 4-2-3-1 formation but, surprisingly, Lucas Bergvall was the most advanced midfielder. He pressed Burnley’s defence along with Richarlison and went on a couple of impressive driving runs with the ball. Throughout pre-season, Pape Matar Sarr tended to be the most advanced midfielder.

Mohammed Kudus provided both the assists for Richarlison's goals, wriggling into space each time and picking out the Brazilian perfectly. Pedro Porro combined nicely with Kudus and Spurs' best first-half moments came when the two worked it down the right wing and put crosses in.

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has endured a ‘rollercoaster’ summer after being linked with a move away from the club for months. The Argentina international was on Atletico Madrid’s list as a potential new centre-back for the upcoming season.
