What did Thomas Frank have to say about the incident?
Thomas Frank accused the groundsman saying, “Yes, he got a mark. Something gave him a mark and I have even got a picture. I have a bit of a temper so I am not an angel all of the time and I try to be the best version but my goalkeeping coach is the most down-to-earth guy, there must be something really pissed him off. I just hope everyone is looking into it. There must be cameras.”
He added, “But in all my time in football and, especially all my time in the Premier League, I have never seen a groundsman walking around in the middle of our warm-up doing things. I don’t know if that is a coincidence, but it just surprised me very much.” The match ended 2-2 and points were shared following a late own goal from Brentford’s Mathias Jorgensen.
