Richarlison Stars as Tottenham Defeat Burnley 3-0 Under New Boss FrankTottenham Hotspur opened the new Premier League season in emphatic style as Thomas Frank secured his first victory in charge with

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.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is hoping that new players are brought in before the transfer window shuts in two weeks’ time. The Lilywhites clearly need to address a few areas on the pitch as they look to compete hard on all four fronts in the upcoming season.

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.

Pape Matar Sarr is once again set to play in the more advanced midfield role, with the deal for the 27-year-old unlikely to be done in time for the first game of the new season. That means just one change for the former Brentford manager, with Wilson Odobert coming in to replace Kevin Danso to allow Spurs to be a bit more attacking.

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.

Frank says Spurs are supporting Tel and expects a huge reception for the 20-year-old in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley.
