Tottenham Coach Defends Arsenal Coffee Cup
A football coach named Thomas Frank was seen drinking coffee from a cup with a rival team's logo.
This happened before his team's match.
People on the internet got upset, but he said it was an accident because the other team had used the same room before them.
He also said it's silly to make a big deal out of something so small.
His team lost the match, which made some fans even more upset.
He explained that he drinks coffee before every game and didn't mean to use a cup from the other team.
Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur coach, was seen drinking coffee from an Arsenal-branded cup before a match.
The incident occurred at Vitality Stadium before a game against Bournemouth, which Tottenham lost 2-3.
Frank explained that Arsenal had used the changing room before Tottenham, making the cup available.
He expressed sadness that such a minor incident was questioned, calling it a 'wrong direction' for football.
Tottenham has only won one of their last five Premier League matches.
