In a contest full of twists and turns, the 1-1 draw with Leeds United leaves a bitter taste having put ourselves in a winning position on the night – how are you feeling about the result?
Knowing victory would’ve opened up a four-point gap to relegation rivals West Ham United in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium erupted when Mathys Tel sent in a stunning curler on 50 minutes to break the deadlock in a game of fine margins.
However, the away side were awarded a penalty following a VAR review for Mathys catching Ethan Ampadu when attempting an overhead clearance inside the box and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sent in his spot-kick to equalise.
We pressed on looking for the winner in a chaotic finale which saw 13 minutes added on, but were thankful for Antonin Kinsky – who had superbly denied Joe Rodon in the first half – for a simply incredible reaction save to parry Sean Longstaff’s effort onto the crossbar in the 97th minute.
A big positive was the return of James Maddison who made his first appearance of the season since rupturing his ACL on pre-season tour. The midfielder – who has been part of the last three matchday squads – came on with five minutes of normal time remaining and had huge claims for a last-gasp penalty denied by VAR when he appeared to be tripped by Lukas Nmecha.
With survival still in our hands with two games to go and what could prove to be a valuable point on the board – what did you make of the performance and result from that one?
