06.10.2025 11:04 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1Dominic Calvert-Lewin's the glue holding the Leeds United attack together. Strength, jumping, heading, movement and intelligence is giving entire team a springboard.
Five good chances in two games spurned. Goals will surely follow his creativity. #lufc www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...
DF: "I have to be careful and do not like to comment (on officials). Last time we had this referee it was a big talking point and got a letter. Leave it to other people to comment. I cannot influence this." #lufc
04.10.2025 14:21 โ ๐ 21 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 1DF: "We have to take our chances and hope the goalkeeper is not the man of the match. Should have hit the target with a few of our chances. Played one of the country's top sides and were the better side. Encouraging. Proud of how far we have come." #lufc
04.10.2025 14:20 โ ๐ 30 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1DF: "Deflected strike out of a non-dangerous situation. Gabi slips for second. Punished with deflection again. Tough for my lads. They scored twice out of nothing. Rodon off the post. DCL big chance. Longstaff big chance. Pascal's headers." #lufc

DF: "Very unfortunate. First feeling is disappointment. Many compliments to the lads for their performance. After this game, I would normally be disappointed with a draw. Better side in all aspects. Missed too many chances." #lufc
Frank: "I know how difficult it is in the Championship (to go unbeaten). They concede very few chances or xG. What's hidden in the stats is five or six top chances where we flash the ball across their box. I would rather praise them. They were good. Defended well. Very brave on the ball." #lufc
04.10.2025 14:16 โ ๐ 18 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Thomas Frank speaking.
"Extremely happy. Last 10 minutes, we dropped back. Until the 80th minute, I was very happy. Very solid defensively. Gave the goal away. Created two goals and other chances." #lufc
Tough one to swallow, but gave the league's second-placed team a proper game today. #lufc
04.10.2025 13:34 โ ๐ 23 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Full time. Spurs win it. 'Cheat, cheat, cheat' is the chant from the home fans. Referee made a lot of poor calls and Struijk will feel unfortunate for the two goals, but still silver linings in there for Leeds. Beat them on every metric except the one that matters. #lufc
04.10.2025 13:29 โ ๐ 34 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 1Great effort from Piroe at the death, as Farke would have wanted, from another Calvert-Lewin knock-down. Good save. #lufc

04.10.2025 13:11 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Gudmundsson and Okafor off for Nmecha and Piroe. #lufc
04.10.2025 13:08 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1Piroe and Nmecha summoned. #lufc
04.10.2025 13:06 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Longstaff not far away with a superb low drive. Tanaka injecting some life since coming on. Plenty of encouragement to believe there's still something in this for the hosts. #lufc
04.10.2025 13:02 โ ๐ 13 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Aaronson and Stach off for Harrison and Tanaka. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:56 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Harrison too. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:55 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Tanaka coming on. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:55 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Okafor and Romeroi booked for going head-to-head after the former fouled Porro in midfield. Hard to see it as a foul. Officials poor today. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:54 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Far too easy, again, for Udogie to get to the Leeds byline. Great low pass, begging to be tapped in, but carries through. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:50 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Gudmundsson misjudges the bounce of the pass and Kudus steals inside to cut in. Carries across the box, shoots, Strujk blocks, but again deflects it past Darlow. Dutchman kicking himself afterwards. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:48 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Goal Tottenham. Kudus. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:47 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Ampadu, amusingly, just shifted Aaronson as the draught excluder after last weekend's incident. Kudus free kick on target, but straight down Darlow's throat. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:46 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Ampadu booked for a late one on Porro. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:42 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Two great chances for Leeds. Okafor carries inside from the left, feeds Calvert-Lewin, time, turns and shoots, but Vicario boots away. Stach picks up and eventually crosses across goal, needed a touch, but three Leeds bodies miss it. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:39 โ ๐ 11 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Second half underway. No changes. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:35 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Half-time. 1-1. Even game, but Leeds edging it fractionally perhaps. #lufc
04.10.2025 12:21 โ ๐ 18 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 5 ๐ 0Good save from Darlow. Tel got up to get a looping header on goal. Pushed away at close range by Darlow. #lufc
