Tottenham boss Thomas Frank admitted frustration over failing to protect their lead for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Sunderland.

Spurs took the lead at home through Ben Davies on the hour mark before Brian Brobbey found an 80th minute equaliser.

Frank said afterwards, "Im pleased with the first half. I think we showed a lot of good intentions, a lot of good play. I think we came into some very good offensive situations where we lacked the cutting-edge quality. So that was positive.

"And I think the big headline is we didn't score the 2-0 goal. We didn't kill the game off 2-0, then the game, we are out of sight. We gave nothing away throughout the game.

"We have one bit where they do a top bit of play, and then it's 1-1. So for me, it was the 2-0 goal we lacked at. I think first half was very good. I think we were totally dominant.

"Second half, not as dominant, but we still get into some very good situations, have some good counter-attack situations where we need to get more out of it. You can't rely on in the Premier League just to win 1-0."

On the home boos at the final whistle, Frank also said: "I liked the backing of the fans for the team throughout the 90 minutes. I think that was excellent and pushed us forward in many ways.

"I am sure everyone could acknowledge especially first half was positive and a step in the right direction, getting in good areas, doing the right things and I am sure 100 per cent sure everyone could acknowledge the effort and hard work of the players. That is all you can ask for and then we’re all a little disappointed that we couldn’t get the three points."
