Kyle Newbould: I watched Leeds United's 1-1 draw vs Tottenham - here are my 3 key conclusions | OneFootball

Leeds United earned a battling 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches. The result lifted them above Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace into 14th with two games left.

Mathys Tel struck five minutes into the second half for the hosts, then Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled from the spot after a high boot on Ethan Ampadu. They could even have won it, but Antonin Kinsky denied Sean Longstaff in added time. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk notes that Daniel Farke’s side dug in despite lacking their usual fluency.

Leeds were hit before kick-off when Jayden Bogle missed out with a hamstring problem, joining Facundo Buonanotte, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Noah Okafor and Ilia Gruev on the sidelines. Pascal Struijk then went off with a hip issue. With safety secured, the timing softens the blow and underlines quickly a squad can thin.

Injuries stretched the bench to include academy prospects Rhys Chadwick and Jayden Lienou, yet the changes paid off. Sebastiaan Bornauw, Lukas Nmecha, Willy Gnonto and Longstaff all made telling contributions. There was a fair argument that Gnonto and Nmecha offered more than Dan James, Ao Tanaka and Brenden Aaronson.

Farke may be tempted to rotate again at Brighton on Saturday, with little drop in several positions. After full-time the players saluted the travelling support, the mood relaxed and the job effectively done, with Leeds closer to eighth than 18th. They return to Elland Road for their first match since safety was confirmed and their final home fixture.
