Tottenham Hotspur manager, Thomas Frank, has explained why French champions, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) came from behind to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night.
The Premier League side went two goals up through Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero in the 17th and 56th minutes respectively.
However, PSG fought back to equalize thanks to late strikes from Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos.
Van de Ven and Mathys Tel then missed from 12 yards to give PSG a 4-3 win after the game went into a penalty shootout.

Speaking with TNT Sports after the encounter, Frank blamed the result on a shift in momentum.
He went on to say Spurs fans should be proud of the team’s performance despite the loss, adding that shootout is like “a flip of a coin”
He said: “I think we played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best at this moment in time.
“We had them exactly where we wanted them for 80-something minutes until the 2-1 goal, then of course the momentum shifted a little bit.
“The team, the players, the club, the fans, there is a lot to be happy with. It is a flip of the coin when you go to a penalty shootout.”
Tottenham will now prepare for the start of the Premier League campaign where they play Burnley.
