Tottenham are just two points clear of the relegation zone with two games to play after they were pegged back by Leeds in a 1-1 draw.

Mathys Tel went from hero to zero after scoring a sumptuous opening goal before giving away a penalty for a dangerous overhead kick that caught Ethan Ampadu inside the area - a spot-kick call that was awarded after a VAR review.

The draw is a boost for West Ham, meaning if they beat Newcastle on Saturday they will go above Spurs in the table.

Tottenham's next fixture is at Chelsea on Tuesday May 19, live on Sky Sports.

Sean Longstaff almost nicked it for Leeds in a wild 13 minutes of added time but was denied by one of the saves of the season by Antonin Kinsky, who somehow pushed the effort onto the crossbar.

There was still time for one last appeal for a potential foul by Lukas Nmecha on the returning James Maddison which was waved away by referee Jarred Gillett and also by VAR.
