Kyle Newbould: Leeds show fight in 1-1 at Spurs, three takeaways | OneFootball

Leeds United battled to a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur, extending their Premier League unbeaten run to seven and nudging back into 14th with two matches to play.

Mathys Tel struck five minutes after the restart, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised from the penalty spot following a high boot on Ethan Ampadu. Deep into added time Antonin Kinsky denied Sean Longstaff, preventing a late away win. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk highlights three key takeaways from the night.

Jayden Bogle missed out with a hamstring issue, joining Facundo Buonanotte, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Noah Okafor and Ilia Gruev on the sidelines. Pascal Struijk then went off with a hip problem in the second half. With safety secured, the timing lessens the damage, but it underlines how quickly depth can vanish and offers a reminder for recruitment planners.

Injuries stretched the bench to include academy prospects Rhys Chadwick and Jayden Lienou, yet the changes told. Sebastiaan Bornauw, Lukas Nmecha, Willy Gnonto and Longstaff all contributed with real intent despite limited minutes. It is easy to argue Gnonto, Longstaff and Nmecha outperformed Dan James, Ao Tanaka and Brenden Aaronson, which might tempt Daniel Farke to rotate at Brighton on Saturday.

Leeds will not roll over, but their primary task is complete. They were mathematically safe with three to play and are closer to eighth than 18th. A relaxed post-match salute with the travelling support reflected that, and a warm Elland Road reception awaits in their final home game.
