Tottenham v Leeds: Premier League – live

And with that, I’m done. Here’s the match report again. Bye!

Roberto De Zerbi has finally emerged from the dressing room, and this is what he’s got to say:

double quotation mark We played a good game. Not great. We didn’t play calm. We wanted to win immediately, without patience. But in the end, I think we have to fight until the end of the season. Leeds played a good game. We hope they play like this also against West Ham. I’m sorry for the penalty we conceded, because Tel had a great game. He’s very young. He showed the right spirit, everyone. I’m happy for the attitude, for the mentality. We didn’t play well, but fighting relegation is like this. You can’t play all games calm. We have to improve and to change the habits, because fighting relegation is different to fighting for the Champions League. But we move on.

I’m lucky because I have a lot of good people inside the dressing room. My players are good player and good people. Sensitive people feel the pressure of what we are fighting for, and can suffer like tonight. Maybe at Villa Park we played better. We played for a big target today. Anyone who played football will understand my words.

Now we have to be positive. We have to work hard. We have the quality to get points and stay up, I think we deserve to stay up. And we’ll fight until the end. When you fight relegation, you have to stay strong, not with the legs but with the head. And to push until the end.

double quotation mark He’s a talent. I will kiss him and hug him and stop. He doesn’t need too many words. He was sorry for the … it’s not a mistake,. it can happen, for a young player, to make that [decision] in that situation.

And on that Maddison penalty shout:

double quotation mark I think the referee was not in the right condition today. Maybe he was not so calm. I think the [furore] of yesterday in West Ham v Arsenal was tough for everyone, maybe for the referee tonight. He went to me after one minute to say, stay inside [the technical area]. I didn’t understand why. I don’t want to speak about the James Maddison penalty. I didn’t see it and nothing will change now.

Farke also shook James Maddison’s hand before he came on as sub. gave him a good hug and chat after the final whistle. He was Norwich manager while Maddison was there in 2017-18, so they go way back. “James was my player when he was pretty young at Norwich,” Farke says. “He is unbelievable smart in the box when he has to win something for his team. Perhaps it was a bit light when he went down, but it was reviewed anyhow. probably was not a pen.”

Daniel Farke has a chat:

double quotation mark Very proud. Becomes sometimes there are games you don’t just win with your football quality but you have to show steel. Once you go 1-0 down, it can be very difficult and sometimes you can crumble. Not us. We stood up, we deserved to equalise and we were close to winning it. It says a lot about our character. our team, we showed great resilience against all advertity and we were unlucky not to win it in the end.

We could have been a bit brave in the first half. We played too many long balls. I reminded them at half time to be a bit braver. stick to out principles, and second half was way better in many aspects.

… and here is photographic evidence.

… and Sky answer that question with footage of the mark Tel made on the side of Ampadu’s face. I am now convinced by the penalty decision.

I’m still not totally convinced by the penalty decision. I just haven’t seen a replay that makes it clear that Tel actually made contact with Ampadu,. if he didn’t I think it should only have been an indirect free kick.

Also displaying lightning reflexes: Jacob Steinberg, who has already filed his match report from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!

The story should have been about Mathys Tel deciding it was time to unfurl the brilliance. took the French forward to Bayern Munich when he was a teenager. Tottenham were closing in on survival when the 21-year-old broke the deadlock against Leeds United. Roberto De Zerbi has been in north London long enough to know nothing is straightforward when his team play at home.

Disaster was on the way, Tel’s wild challenge on Ethan Ampadu allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to equalise from the spot. Tottenham. who have not won at home in the league since December, had missed the chance to move four points clear of 18th-placed West Ham with two games to play. It is likely. this shootout for survival with West Ham will come down to whether Tottenham can win when they host Everton on the final day.

What a save that was by Kinsky from Longstaff. When you watch replays at full speed you can’t even see it, so fast was the ball travelling. Only in slow motion can you appreciate those spectacular reflexes.

The bottom of the Premier League looks like this:

90+16 mins: It felt like Spurs could have taken infinite corners without creating anything,. their 14th doesn’t do anything that the other 13 didn’t. And that’s it!

90+15 mins: That corner is headed behind by a Leeds player. so in fact there’ll be one more corner for Spurs.

90+15 mins: Rodon gets in the way of a Richarlison shot, and there’ll be one more corner for Spurs.

90+14 mins: There’s a very slight touch on the ball that saves the defender,. Spurs will have to make do with a corner.

90+13 mins: Maddison goes down in the area, and Spurs want a penalty! The referee doesn’t give anything, but VAR is back in action!

90+12 mins: Kolo Muani wins a throw-in, and Danso runs over to do the honours. His long throw drops to Palhinha, who shoots straight into a defender, the ball deflecting wide for a corner.

90+10 mins: And another chance for Longstaff! This time a left-wing cross finds its way to him beyond the far post,. any shot on target would probably have gone in. But he can’t produce one!

90+9 mins: It’s Longstaff, played into the area on the left side of goal,. he hammers a shot high towards the near post. Kinsky has almost no time to react but react he does, flinging up his right arm. deflecting the ball onto the woodwork!

90+8 mins: Leeds hit the bar! And it’s an astonishingly good save!

90+8 mins: Gallagher has the ball in the Leeds area but can’t deicde what to do with it, so in the end he gives it away,. the referee gives Leeds a free kick for some reason.

90+7 mins: Spurs win another corner, their 10th. I think they’ve won one header from those 10 corners.

90+5 mins: De Zerbi gets a yellow card for losing his cool after Ampadu fouls two Spurs players in two seconds. right in front of him.

90+4 mins: Another Leeds substitution: Tanaka goes off, and Sean Longstaff comes on.

90+3 mins: The ball drops to Bergvall on the edge of the area, but he fluffs his volley pretty badly,. the ball loops gently over the goal.

90+2 mins: And another corner. The fans have rediscovered their voice now!

90 mins: Tottenham win a corner as the clock ticks into stoppage time. the fourth official raises his board: 13 added minutes!

88 mins: Van de Ven goes down under Ampadu’s challenge and catches the ball as he goes. Leeds get a free kick for the handball.

85 mins: He’s back! James Maddison comes on to taste his first action of the season, replacing Tel. And Spence replaces Udogie.

85 mins: A couple of emails on the penalty decision: “Obviously biased as a Spurs fan. I think it was certainly a decision that can be argued with,” writes Alexandra Ashton. “The overhead kick is dangerous, but I don’t think he makes real contact with Ampadu, maybe just a slight brush: Ampadu has no instant reaction after the perceived contact. only afterwards begins throwing his hands up (to clutch the top of his head even, not the chin where Tel’s foot was near) and grimacing. Ultimately, Tel didn’t see anything, couldn’t have known anything, and the contact was minimal at best. But I’m not a VAR. so who knows.” And from Rob: “Why on earth attempt a flying overhead kick on the edge of your penalty area??? head the ball away!!! One of the dumbest penalties I have ever seen.”

82 mins: Another booking, this one for Porro, who tried to win the ball but his foot ran over the top of it. onto Justin’s foot.

81 mins: Spurs bring Bergvall on for Bentancur.

81 mins: What a block! Gnonto passes to Nmecha, inside the penalty area, but his left-footed shot finds Van de Ven in the way.

79 mins: A yellow card for Rodon. And if the decisive blow has yet to be landed here. it looks like it might have happened across town at Millwall:

77 mins: It’s all gone very quiet. The stakes are high and the quality is, well, variable, and the combination is not good for the nerves.

And Spurs let the lead slip! It’s an absolute beauty of a penalty from Calvert-Lewin, hard, high and into the side netting.
