  • Tottenham’s relegation fears deepened after a 1-1 draw with Leeds but only thanks to a wonder save in second half stoppage time from Antonin Kinsky. The goalkeeper saved a powerful close-range strike from Sean Longstaff deep into added time towards the end of the game, reacting well low to tip the ball onto the woodwork.
  • It came as Mathys Tel endured a dramatic shift from hero to villain during the game. His 50th-minute opener had initially offered a crucial lifeline.
  • But the young forward then conceded a reckless penalty in the 69th minute, catching Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu in the face with an overhead kick clearance. Dominic Calvert-Lewin emphatically converted the spot-kick, setting the stage for a tense conclusion.
  • Roberto De Zerbi introduced James Maddison for his first competitive appearance in a year after a serious knee injury. He almost won a late penalty after a challenge from Lukas Nmecha, but it was waived away after a VAR check.
  • The result leaves them precariously positioned, just two points above the bottom three.
