Leeds were dragged back into the relegation dog fight, following a dogged fightback from Spurs, which saw them came from behind three times, before delivering a cruel and bitter blow to Marsch's men. The Whites started brightly, and were ahead on ten minutes. Arronson showed great strength and determination on the ball, before executing an inch perfect forward ball to Summerville. The young Dutchman held off two defenders before beating LLoris at his near post.

Leeds frail defence stood firm for 15 minutes, before Spurs equalised in controversial style. Meslier came out to punch clear the ball from an in swinging corner, as he was met by a melee of Spurs players. The young Frenchman was bundled into the back of the net with a further Tottenham man falling over him, preventing him from getting up. The ball fell kindly to Kane, and seconds later Spurs were level. Astonishingly, the goal stood.

Leeds retook the lead just before half-time. The hosts failed to clear a Leeds corner, as Kristensen headed the ball ball into the danger zone. Rodrigo nipped in, to volley past Lloris from the edge of the area. Spurs drew level just after the break. Ben Davies' long range thunderbolt flying past Meslier as he got into a tangle with Kristensen.

With fifteen minutes remaining, Rodrigo got his second of the match, as the Whites once again took the lead. Adams' sublime through ball carved the Spurs defence right open. Rodrigo made a beeline for the Spurs goalmouth, and calmly fired past the despairing dive of the keeper. Tottenham levelled five minutes later. The visitors failed to clear a cross, and Bentancur took advantage from long range. The effort went through the legs of Ayling which may have left Meslier unsighted.

Less than two minutes later, Spurs took the lead for the first time in the match. Kulusevski skipped past Koch like he wasn't there, squared the ball to Bentancur, who fired the ball into the empty net. To make matters worse, Adams was dismissed during the closing stages for a second bookable offence. The Whites deserved something from this game, but when you're Leeds Utd, you can only use the cards you're dealt with, and more times than not, your opponents hold all the aces.
