Life is not easy for Tottenham - the team from north London could have taken a crucial step towards survival with a victory over Leeds, but against a relaxed rival they failed to achieve a victory of the season.
Roberto de Zerbi's team drew 1-1 with the West Yorkshire team at home, with Mathis Tell being the hero and anti-hero. The Spurs striker first scored a brilliant goal to make it 1-0, and then recklessly took a penalty from which Dominic Calvert-Lewin set up the final score.
Tottenham could have been left without a point in stoppage time, but goalkeeper Antonin Kinski saved it.
Maybe in the end, that moment will be decisive, since with two rounds to go, Tottenham has two points more than West Ham, who are in the relegation zone, but who are still alive after this draw.
The team from the north of the British capital will play Chelsea away and Everton at home until the end, while the team from east London is away at Newcastle and welcomes Leeds.
The moment the white part of north London had been waiting to explode came in the 50th minute when Tel masterfully headed home Karl Darlow's far corner.
The French striker was the hero for 24 minutes, and then recklessly, in an attempt to clear the ball out of his penalty area, he clipped Ethan Ampadu's head.
Australian referee Jared Gillett, after a call from the VAR room, pointed to the white spot, and Calvert-Lewin was more than sure from the white spot.
De Zerby's team struggled to recover from that blow, but somehow managed to attack in 13 minutes of stoppage time. It wasn't all easy, and Leeds nearly took all three points from London. Sean Longstaff had a great shot in the 98th minute, but Antonin Kinski made a miraculous save to save the home team.
The only good news for Tottenham fans is the return of James Morrison, who missed the entire season due to a serious injury. He tried to get the team going, and in the final moments he even came close to forcing a penalty.
He failed, so he and his teammates face a hellish fight until the last second of the Premier League this season.
