What Tottenham’s result against Leeds means for West Ham | OneFootball

West Ham United received a huge relegation boost as Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds United on Monday.

Mathys Tel broke the deadlock early in the second half with a spectacular 20-yard strike.

The 21-year-old then turned from hero to villain 16 minutes from time when he caught Ethan Ampadu in the face with a reckless bicycle kick inside the area.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted the spot-kick to level the scores.

Antonin Kinsky denied Sean Longstaff’s stoppage-time strike, as the two sides drew 1-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What does this result mean for West Ham?

Tottenham were on course to pick up maximum points after Tel’s wonderful opener.

However, Calvert-Lewin’s penalty goal kept the relegation battle very much alive for the Hammers.

A Tottenham victory would have left West Ham needing to win their remaining two matches, while hoping their rivals secure no more than one point from their last two fixtures.

Monday’s draw leaves West Ham now just a win away from 17th place, with the gap between the two sides just two points.

West Ham will travel to Newcastle United on Sunday, while Tottenham face a tricky fixture at Chelsea on Tuesday.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side won the reverse fixture against Newcastle. The Magpies have won just one of their last six league matches.

Tottenham haven’t won at Stamford Bridge since 2018.
