“Expected Spurs to be on it” Daniel Farke on a difficult game

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke spoke with a sense of pride in respect of how his boys did against us in London last night. Leeds earned a valuable away point against a relegation-threatened Tottenham side. Spurs had chances to secure a win but were held, missing an opportunity to pull further clear of the drop zone and ended the match two points above West Ham with games remaining.

“I wouldn’t allow it any other way (fighting for the point). I would never allow anything less. Expected Spurs to be on it. Had to play without many key players. Was a difficult game. We fully deserved to equalise this game. A point better for us than Spurs in circumstances. We were greedy. Almost won with [Sean] Longstaff, great save from keeper. Says a lot about the character of my team.”

Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 with Leeds United at home, with James Maddison returning from a 375-day injury layoff as a substitute and goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky making crucial saves to secure the point. A controversial VAR offside decision disallowed a Leeds United goal. The result leaves Tottenham two points ahead of West Ham United in the relegation battle with two games remaining.

Leeds showed resilience, coming back from behind and creating threats, including the disallowed goal. The draw was seen as a solid result for them, especially on the road.

Overall, it was a competitive, dramatic match with both teams having periods of control, but neither could fully capitalize in the end. Highlights are available on platforms like BBC, Sky Sports, or NBC Sports
