Tottenham 1-1 Leeds, Two Points Above Drop Zone

Published 11 May 2026

Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 with Leeds United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday, leaving the hosts two points above the Premier League relegation zone with two matches remaining.

Mathys Tel scored for Tottenham in the 50th minute, curling a shot into the top corner after controlling a clearance from Pedro Porro's corner kick, his fourth goal of the season. The lead lasted until the 69th minute, when Tel attempted an overhead kick to clear the ball in his own penalty area and struck Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu in the face. Referee Jarred Gillett initially waved play on but awarded a penalty following a VAR review and pitchside monitor check. Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted the kick, drilling it into the bottom corner for his 14th goal of the campaign.

The result followed Arsenal's 1-0 victory at West Ham United on Sunday, a match marked by a late VAR decision denying the hosts an equalizer. That outcome secured Leeds' Premier League status and gave Tottenham the chance to move four points clear of 18th-placed West Ham, who sit on 36 points with an inferior goal difference. Tottenham now have 38 points.

The first half was goalless despite chances on both sides. Tottenham...
