Frank lauds van de Ven and Tottenham’s set pieces after beating Everton | OneFootball

Thomas Frank hailed Tottenham’s set-piece threat after beating Everton 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Micky van de Ven scored twice from corners before Pape Sarr added a third headed goal in the second half.

And Frank was delighted with how well his side took advantage of their set pieces.

 “Any away match you win 3-0 in the Premier League is super impressive,” Frank told BBC Sport.

“First half, we took control of the ball and passed more. The second half was more of a dog fight, which it can be in the Premier League.

“The season is very young. We won after the Champions League and that is not easy to do.

“Set pieces are so crucial. Right now, Arsenal is on track for the title from set pieces. We scored two very good goals and the boys competed excellently in our box.”

Frank also praised the work van de Ven has put in to become more of a goal threat.

 “We worked hard on it and so did Micky,” Frank said. “Now he has three headers, with two today.

“Still a lot of things I want to improve in the tram. We have a clean sheet mentality, and that gives you a lot of points on the road.”
