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.

Djed Spence has committed his future to Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new long-term contract with the North London club. Last week, TBR Football revealed that Tottenham were in talks with Spence over a new deal and now the Lilywhites have confirmed that he is staying.

Richarlison steered home the opener after 10 minutes before his second goal on the hour mark was a superb volley from a Mohammed Kudus cross and Brennan Johnson added another - six minutes later - on a tough top-flight return for Burnley boss Scott Parker at his old club.

Thomas Frank warned Tottenham must be cautious with Richarlison ’s fitness as he called for patience after the forward’s brace against Burnley. Richarlison led the line as Spurs began the Premier League season with a 3-0 win over the Clarets and scored the first two goals of the match.

What did we learn about Tottenham Hotspur and how they will play and progress under Thomas Frank as he made his Premier League debut for the club in a victory over Burnley?

Pape Matar Sarr has stood out as something of a complete package in preseason. Especially in the absence of James Maddison, who has injured his knee, he could get more minutes off the striker as the most advanced midfielder because of his ability to offer output for this outfit in the final third.

Frank says Spurs are supporting Tel and expects a huge reception for the 20-year-old in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley.
