Tottenham Hotspur only managed a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at home in the Premier League on Monday, May 11.
It was a decent first half for Spurs, as they showed great initiative and energy. They pressed well for most parts and created some half-chances, with Pedro Porro at the heart of it.
Leeds also competed well and had an excellent chance with Joe Rodon on a set piece, but Antonin Kinsky produced a brilliant save to deny him.
Tottenham created some chances from set pieces of their own, but failed to convert them. The first half also got scrappy at times, with some late fouls and poor possession from both sides. It ended all square.
However, the second half started perfectly for Spurs. Mathys Tel scored an outstanding goal in the 50th minute from the edge of the box after a corner fell to him. The hosts continued to press, but didn’t convert their half-chances.
Tel then gave away a penalty in the 72nd minute after a foul on Ethan Ampadu, which Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted. The game was well contested after that as Leeds clawed their way back into the contest. Spurs did get some set pieces but failed to do much with them.
Leeds then pushed hard in stoppage and almost scored a late winner, but Kinsky denied them a goal. Tottenham also had a late penalty appeal denied on James Maddison.
It eventually ended in a controversial 1-1 draw.
