The Thomas Frank era began to the great delight of Tottenham Hotspur fans on Saturday, as last season's Europa League winners cruised past newly promoted Burnley 3-0 in north London.

Frank’s side threatened little for the rest of the half, allowing Burnley to grow into the game, but a moment of magic from Richarlison put Spurs in control — Kudus wriggled free down the right and sent in a cross for the Brazilian, whose acrobatic volley left Dubravka with no chance. Brennan Johnson added a third six minutes later.

Thomas Frank must decide whether Dominic Solanke is fit to start when Tottenham host Burnley in their opening match of the Premier League season. Spurs were in European action on Wednesday night, falling to an agonising penalty-shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain having held a 2-0 lead in the 85th minute.

Former Arsenal legend believes Spurs could be a better team for Premier League star than moving to the Emirates Stadium.

This lot became instant heroes on their Premier League bows.
