De Zerbi blown away by āunbelievableā Kinsky, he might have kept Tottenham up
Tottenham Hotspur played a 1-1 draw with Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to move two points clear of the relegation zone with two Premier League games left.
Spurs attacker Mathy Tel opened the scoring before giving away the penalty that led to the equaliser. The North Londoners also somehow didnāt get a penalty for a foul on James Maddison.
Tottenham will rue the missed opportunity to pull further clear in the relegation race, but they must be happy to have secured a crucial point.
They were on the ropes, and their opponents could have inflicted more damage if not for goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
The Tottenham shot-stopper has come under criticism this season, but has been stellar under Roberto De Zerbi.
Kinsky has redeemed himself with his recent performances. He earned Spurs a point against Leeds with two contenders for save of the season.
The first, he clawed a header destined for goal off the line before tipping a fierce goal-bound shot to the crossbar in the second half. Both were āunbelievableā saves to keep his side in the top flight.
De Zerbi described Kinsky's performance as 'unbelievable,' highlighting his significant impact during the match.
The 1-1 draw against Leeds United left Tottenham two points clear of the relegation zone with only two Premier League games left.

Tottenham were expected to send Kinsky out on loan next season to continue his development away from the spotlight, especially after his difficult moments earlier in the campaign.
But performances like this could force a major rethink inside the club.
Under De Zerbi, the young goalkeeper has looked transformed. The Italian tactician lauded him as a great professional.
He is calmer with the ball at his feet, more commanding in his area and capable of producing match-winning moments.
Spurs have spent much of this season searching for positives in a turbulent campaign, and Kinsky is rapidly becoming one of them.
Rather than shipping him out, Tottenham should consider giving Kinsky the chance to compete for a starting role next season alongside another goalkeeper when Guglielmo Vicario leaves.
On current evidence, he has earned the opportunity to prove he belongs at the highest level.
