If Spurs had come away from this home meeting with West Ham United having claimed a point, it could hardly be measured as a satisfactory outcome. The defeat, sealed as it was with virtually the last kick of the game, surely throws Frank's future into question, despite what seems to be a message of support from Spurs' hierarchy. The reaction of the Spurs fans gave their verdict, chanting against their own manager even while Wilson's winner was being checked by the video assistant referee before being cleared.

Frank is in the firing line, not just for results but the sluggish lacklustre manner of their approach, which only increased the frustration around an already anxious stadium.
It was summed up in two moments either side of half-time, first when Pedro Porro took 30 seconds over a throw in, only to then give possession back to West Ham, then when the ball was passed around aimlessly at the back without any urgency when Spurs needed an equaliser.
This all adds up to a toxic cocktail, which is surely testing the resolve of the Spurs power brokers, even though their first instinct has been to give the Dane time and patience.
