Villa's FA Cup win at Spurs leaves Frank on the brinkListen to this articleTottenham boss Thomas Frank faces a battle to keep his jobLONDON - Aston Villa pushed Tottenham boss Thomas Frank closer to the sack with a 2-1 win over the Dane's troubled side in the FA Cup third round on Saturday. Frank is on the brink after Tottenham paid the price for conceding twice in a woeful first-half display in north London. Villa, who haven't won the FA Cup since 1957, have now won twice at Tottenham this season after a 2-1 victory in the Premier League in October. Unai Emery's team also beat Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round last season. Unfortunately for Frank, Tottenham's first-half display was closer to a non-league effort than the standards expected of his expensively assembled team.
