Leeds United extended their unbeaten Premier League run to seven games following Monday’s 1-1 comeback draw at Tottenham Hotspur. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s second-half penalty cancelled out a Mathys Tel opener to take the Whites back above Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest in the table.
Tottenham had the better of the first-half, dominating possession and creating a handful of half chances which Richarlison, Joao Palhinha and others squandered. The home side got their opening goal just after the break with a moment of quality, Tel curling beyond Karl Darlow after a corner was cleared his way.
But the mood inside the stadium changed when Leeds got a penalty for a wild high boot from goalscorer Tel on Ethan Ampadu, with Calvert-Lewin burying his effort from 12 yards to level the scores. Substitute Sean Longstaff came within millimetres of an added-time winner but saw his powerful effort incredibly saved by Antonin Kinsky.

16. Referee: Jarred Gillett
-1 - The first minus number in YEP history, perhaps. But that was a shocker. For so many reasons. But if you need one - ignoring a head injury to let play go on. | Getty Images
