Tottenham lost 1-0 to Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday, ending their three-game winning run, while Mathys Tel suffered an ankle injury that requires medical checks.
Winning run ends
Omar Marmoush has scored once in seven appearances for Tottenham, while Dominic Solanke has scored two goals in eight appearances. Marmoush was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski in the 65th minute, while Solanke came on for injured Mathys Tel just before half-time.
De Zerbi on the performance
Roberto De Zerbi said: “We won no duels, no one-to-ones. There was space to play and we didn’t take the right decisions.”
He added: “We didn’t show character, personality or courage.”
Tel injury and refereeing decision
Asked how bad the injury was in his post-match press conference, De Zerbi said: “Bad injury. Now we have to make the medical checks and in the next day we will know the problem.”
Jayden Bogle was not booked for standing on Mathys Tel’s Achilles, despite VAR looking at the incident for four minutes. Tottenham are set to submit a complaint to ProRef over the decision.
O’Hara’s Marmoush comment
Jamie O’Hara, the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, said on the GameDay Phone-In on talkSPORT while reacting to the defeat: “Marmoush is, like, fraud levels right now.”
