Leeds United fell short at Elland Road on Saturday despite dominating much of their match against Tottenham Hotspur. Two unfortunate deflected shots got past Karl Darlow, leading to their defeat.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Joe Rodon, Joel Piroe, and Sean Longstaff all had chances to score for Leeds, with Noah Okafor equalizing Mathys Tel’s opener. Okafor scored his second goal for Leeds during the match.
Pascal Struijk’s deflected shot from Mohammed Kudus was the deciding factor in Spurs’ victory. Chris Sutton acknowledged Leeds as the better team, but Spurs’ expensive players proved to be the difference on the day.
Alan Shearer pointed out Spurs’ ability to transition quickly and attack in a flash, praising players like Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro for their performances. Despite their efforts, Leeds have only accumulated eight points from seven games, but Farke believes they deserve more.
Leeds have shown they can compete in the Premier League, with their only outclassed performance coming against Arsenal. With better luck and finishing, Leeds could easily have more points on the board and be in a stronger position in the league standings.
