Tottenham Held 1-1 by Leeds as Tel’s Penalty Error Undoes Stunning Opener

The result leaves Spurs 17th with two matches to secure their top-flight place.

Overview

  • Mathys Tel put Tottenham ahead with a curled strike from outside the box in the 50th minute.
  • The 21-year-old then conceded a penalty for a high foot on Ethan Ampadu, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted in the 74th minute.
  • Goalkeeper Anton Kinský protected the point by tipping Sean Longstaff’s stoppage-time shot onto the bar.
  • The draw kept Tottenham in 17th and squandered a chance to pull away after West Ham’s defeat to Arsenal.
  • British outlets criticized Tel’s decision-making, while coach Roberto De Zerbi defended him as a young talent who will learn from the mistake.
