After opening the scoring with a stunner, Tel's high boot on Ethan Ampadu saw a penalty awarded, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepping up to seal a share of the spoils. 

Tottenham made a nervy start in arguably one of the biggest games of its season, and they had Antonin Kinsky to thank in the 21st minute as he got down low to his left to save Joe Rodon's header at the back post. 

But Roberto De Zerbi's side grew as the half went on, and only a pair of blocks denied Richarlison and Pedro Porro's efforts on goal from a corner, which was rewarded after Karl Darlow held onto the ball for longer than eight seconds. 

The tension inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was eased in the 50th minute through Tel, who took a touch before curling a sensational strike from the edge of the penalty area into the top-right corner. 

However, Tel was involved again at the other end as his attempted clearance caught Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu high inside the box, with referee Jarred Gillett pointing to the spot following a VAR review. 

Calvert-Lewin lashed in the resulting spot-kick 16 minutes from time, and both teams had the chance to snatch victory in the 13 additional minutes.

Kinsky produced a sensational save to tip Sean Longstaff's shot onto the crossbar before James Maddison's appeals for a penalty after Lukas Nmecha's risky challenge were waved away.
