Monday was all about the relegation battle with Tottenham Hotspur looking to extend their lead over West Ham United to four points. But they were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds United, with Mathys Tel scoring a great goal before kicking Ethan Ampadu and fouling him in the box.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up and scored before Antonin Kinsky made a brilliant save to deny Sean Longstaff a late winner. And Hull City are in the Championship play-off final after a fantastic 2-0 win over Millwall.
Fuming
Jamie O’Hara isn’t happy with Mathys Tel. Yes, he loved the goal, but the Frenchman attempted an overhead kick in his box to make a clearance. He wasn’t aware of Ethan Ampadu steaming in, and he ended up just kicking him in the head. And speaking on The Sports Bar, O’Hara is baffled. He said: “What is he doing?
“A bicycle kick in your own box. You can’t see what is around you. “What is he doing? “In the first half, he crossed one into his own box. “You do not make that decision when you are in the position we are in, and we’ve gifted them a goal.”
Tottenham 1-1 Leeds – FULL TIME
The Premier League relegation battle is not done yet!
Leeds United come from 1-0 down to seal a point that means West Ham can put Tottenham Hotspur into the drop zone with a win over Newcastle United!
Mathys Tel was both the hero and the villain for Spurs with a stunning goal followed by a ridiculous foul to give away a penalty. Dominic Calvert-Lewin slammed that home to seal a point in a drama-filled game.
The home side thought they should have had a last-minute spot kick when Lucas Nmecha appeared to foul James Maddison.
But he just got a touch on the ball. And Antonin Kinsky made a stunning save to deny Sean Longstaff a late winner. The next time Tottenham play, they could be in the relegation zone.
Tottenham 1-1 Leeds – Chance
Incredible save!
That is a truly top-drawer stop from Antonin Kinsky. Brilliant play from Leeds to thread a ball through for Sean Longstaff. He rattles in a shot that is destined for the back of the net. But it’s somehow tipped onto the crossbar.
