"Van de Ven and Spence ignored the instructions of Frank to applaud the home fans, but an apology by the duo on Monday was followed by a sensational strike by the Dutch defender on Tuesday night. Vice-captain Van de Ven carried the ball from the edge of his penalty area to score a superb solo goal in the 64th minute."
"Micky van de Ven's goal of the season contender helped Tottenham provide boss Thomas Frank with much-needed home comforts after a 4-0 thrashing of Copenhagen in the Champions League. Frank watched Spurs deliver a tepid display in a poor London derby loss to Chelsea on Saturday, which sparked boos at full-time and an unfortunate flashpoint with Van de Ven and Djed Spence."
Tottenham thrashed Copenhagen 4-0 in the Champions League, delivering Thomas Frank a rare home comfort after recent criticism. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring in the 19th minute, with Wilson Odobert adding a second before half-time. Johnson was controversially sent off at the start of the second half. Vice-captain Micky van de Ven carried the ball from the edge of his penalty area and scored a superb solo goal in the 64th minute to make it 3-0. Substitute João Palhinha added a late goal with 23 minutes remaining, while Richarlison missed a late penalty. The win moved Spurs to eight points and boosted top-eight hopes.
