⏪ Leeds battle for draw at Spurs as relegation battle goes to the wire | OneFootball

FULL TIME! SPURS 1-1 LEEDS

Spurs will have regrets they couldn't hold onto their lead but serious relief that they held onto a point in the end.

They move two points clear of West Ham but the relegation battle is set to go to the wire.

Richarlison's effort is deflected over by Rodon for a 12th Spurs corner. Incredible.

NO PENALTY!

It's not awarded but there is a corner...

PENALTY CHECK FOR SPURS!

Maddison goes down under contact from Lukas Nmecha but was there a touch on the ball?

Leeds look the more likely to win this one as Anton Stach heads over.

They have a free-kick in a dangerous position now...

OFF THE BAR BUT WHAT A SAVE!

Leeds almost nick it in the 100th minute with Sean Longstaff smacking the bar.

On replay, it's a truly incredible save from Kinský.

How big might that be?

Conor Gallagher drives into the box only to lose the ball and then give away a foul.

A draw feels inevitable at this point.

Spurs have had 10 corners but Leeds have dealt with all but one of them very well.

It might take another special goal to break them down.

Maddison whips a ball in that Darlow comes and punches away.

Spurs are trying to get their no.10 on the ball.

13 MINUTES OF ADDED TIME!!!

We're only getting started here...

Heading towards the 90. How much added time will we see?

With the penalty and several subs, it should be at least seven or eight minutes.

He's on for Tel, who's had an interesting night to say the least.

One-time Leeds loanee Djed Spence is also on for Udogie.

Plenty of narratives there for the late show.

He'll get about five minutes plus added time but one set piece could be all the England international needs.

It looks like James Maddison is about to make his long-awaited return after over a year out.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man?

Lucas Bergvall is on for Rodrigo Bentancur.

Can he spark some life back into Spurs?

Spurs are in a tricky position now.

Do they stick or twist? A draw moves them two clear of West Ham with two games to go and they have the far superior goal difference.

You could cut the tension with a knife.

GOAL! CALVERT-LEWIN MAKES IT 1-1!

The striker makes no mistake with a fantastic spot kick and we are all level with 15 minutes to go.

What a finish we have in store.

PENALTY TO LEEDS!

The referee goes to the pitch side monitor and Tel's attempted clearance sees him take down Ampadu.

From hero to zero for the Frenchman and Calvert-Lewin has the chance to level the score and give West Ham serious hope once more.

Another Ampadu long throw leads to little but there might be a potential penalty check.

Farke makes a double change with Dan James and Brenden Aaronson off for Lukas Nmecha and Wilfried Gnonto.

That should give Leeds a lot more in attack.

CHANCE!

Richarlison should have made it 2-0.

Kolo Muani does very well to take the ball down on the right and fashion a cross into the box that the striker volleys over.

Spurs are very much on top now.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is in full flow with the fans sensing safety is inching ever closer.

Absolute limbs when that Tel strike went in.

GOAL! TEL MAKES IT 1-0!

And what a brilliant goal it is!!!!

Porro's corner is cleared only to the Frenchman, who takes a touch and curls a stunning effort past Darlow and into the top corner.

The stadium erupts.

Porro drives forward and finds Kolo Muani, who can't get a shot away but does win a corner.

BACK UNDER WAY!

Biggest 45 minutes of Spurs' season?

As stands, Spurs will go two clear of West Ham but with a trip to arch-rivals Chelsea next, it would do little to calm the relegation fears.

Can they kick on and win a first home league game of 2026?

HALF TIME!

Goalless at the break, which will do nothing to ease the nerves of both Tottenham and West Ham fans.

A huge 45 minutes ahead.

OFFSIDE!

Destiny Udogie gets himself in an awkward position and takes down Calvert-Lewin inside the box.

Luckily for the Spurs man, the Leeds striker is offside by a toe.

A stadium breathes a huge sigh of relief.

Spurs must be kicking themselves for having failed to score in this first half.

CLOSE AGAIN!

Palhinha scored the winner at Wolves two weeks ago and almost breaks the deadlock here.

He barges through the Leeds defence but fires over from close range.

Spurs are finishing this half strongly.

CLOSE!

They almost do with some chaos in the box leading to a Pedro Porro strike from just inside the box.

A Leeds defender is there to clear it away.

Darlow holds onto the ball for too long and falls foul of the sometimes-implemented new rule.

Corner to Spurs. Can they make it count?

Randal Kolo Muani is set clear by Richarlison but he gets his cross towards Tel all wrong.

Tel does retrieve the ball eventually leading to the Brazilian forcing a save from Karl Darlow with a header.

Tel does very well at the right end this time, driving into the box and onyl denied a clear strike by a Jaka Bijol block.

This game needed livening up. Hopefully the last few minutes have done that.

You can feel the tension inside the ground.

CLOSE!

Former Spurs man Joe Rodon is left at the back post to connect with Aaronson's cross.

Antonín Kinský does brilliantly to stop the ball on the line.

His redemption arc continues.

WHAT A DECISION!

Mathys Tel has the ball in his own corner and under pressure, flicks the ball across his own box.

Kevin Danso just about gets his head to it before Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Pressure does funny things! Not that any Spurs fan was laughing.

Leeds haven't won at Spurs since February 2001 when Ian Harte and Ian Bowyer struck in a 2-1 comeback victory.

Two Spurs corners come to nothing but it's a bit better from the home side as we approach the 20-minute mark.

Roberto De Zerbi gets a warning from the fourth official for wandering outside his technical zone.

A fair point from this fan?

It was quite the spectacle prior to kick off but it's been slow and steady so far from both sides.

The hosts have their first semi-opening inside 10 minutes.

Pedro Porro plays a lovely ball for Richarlison to race onto but ex-Spurs defender Joe Rodon gets there first to clear it away.

The Brazilian should have done better there.

On the flip side, Spurs have won just four of their last 31 league games.

It's a remarkably poor run that includes just two wins this season at this stadium - on the opening day against now-relegated Burnley and in December against Brentford.

Leeds get off to a decent start with an Ethan Ampadu long throw causing some issues in the Spurs box.

Farke's side can play with a freedom for the first time all season and are also very tough to beat - they have lost just four of their last 22 league games.

KICK OFF!

And we're under way.

The players are out on the pitch at a loud Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A huge, huge night for the football club.

Leeds make two changes with Dan James and Brenden Aaronson coming in for Jayden Bogle and Noah Okafor.

Here are the teams starting with the hosts, who are unchanged from the fine win at Aston Villa.

West Ham's dramatic defeat to Arsenal yesterday had major implications on both sides, with Daniel Farke's now mathematically safe and Spurs having the chance go four clear of the drop zone.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's Premier League clash between Tottenham and Leeds United.
