LIVE updates from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs take on Leeds United in the Premier League.
“I think we deserve to stay up. We fight until the end. When you fight relegation, you have to stay strong not with the legs but in the head, and push until the end.”
“I think the referee was not in the right condition today. I didn’t see the situation of Maddison. I think the panic of yesterday with West Ham and Arsenal was difficult for everyone.
“After one minute they told me to stay in the technical area. I didn’t understand why. It’s an important game at a crucial part of the season.”
“I will kiss him and hug him. He doesn’t need too many words. He was sorry for the mistake but it can happen for a young player to make a bad mistake in that situation.”
Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi: “We play a good game, not great, but there was big pressure. We didn’t play calm, we wanted to win immediately without patience.
“Leeds played a good game, we hope they play like this in the next game against West Ham.
“Mathys Tel had a great game but maybe in the situation (Leeds’ penalty), he’s a bit young, but it’s not a problem for me. He showed the right spirit.
“Fighting relegation is like this, you can’t play all game with calm and the right quality. We have to improve and change the habits.”
Daniel Farke, who managed James Maddison at Norwich, says he was delighted to see the midfielder return after a year out.
“It’s great to see him back because if you love football and you love a baller then you also love James Maddison. He can be unbelievable and is one of the most creative players in this country.
“Of course it was difficult for him after being out for so long to come into this crunch moment, but the affect he can have, he has shown in the last minutes. He was smart, he knows how to win a free-kick or what he has to do in the box, perhaps to win a penalty. Great set pieces, great delivery, a top character. Fingers crossed he can stay fit and healthy.”
Leeds boss Daniel Farke: “Sometimes you have to show steel in a difficult away game.
“When you go 1-0 down, sometimes you can crumble, but not us. We showed we didn’t want to lose the game and stepped up.”
Spurs are held to a draw by Leeds.
Maddison is brought down in the area – they are checking this one.
UPDATE: not given
Sean Longstaff almost wins it for Leeds.
He breaks in behind and lets a shot fly but Kinsky palms onto the bar.
Can Spurs find a winner?
THIRTEEN minutes have been added on here…
Djed Spence and…. James Maddison are on for Mathys Tel and Destiny Udogie.
For the first time this season, Maddison will take to the pitch for Spurs.
Lucas Bergvall is on for Rodrigo Bentancur.
Because of injuries Spurs have 0 attacking players on the bench… apart from the injured James Maddison.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin converts – game on.
Mathys Tel is penalised, huge chance for Leeds… and West Ham.
I think he is going to give this….
Mathys Tel might be in trouble here.
He has tried to overhead kick the ball clear but caught Ampadu who wins the ball and goes down in the area.
Joao Palhinha is in the book for a rash challenge on Ao Tanaka.
Since the goal the game has become much more end to end.
Leeds coming one way and Spurs firing straight down the other. Will be an exciting last half hour.
Richarlison has to do better there.
Excellent play from Muani to beat Bornauw and then find Richarlison in the centre but the Brazilian miscues and fires well wide from six yards out.
Pascal Struijk is off for Sebastiaan Bornauw – the centre half looked in a lot of pain as he went off the field.
That goal has turned up the volume in here.
The noise from the Spurs fans is deafening.
WHAT A GOAL FROM MATHYS TEL.
A Spurs corner is headed clear, but only as far as Tel who passes the bl=all into the top corner from outside the box.
