“He’s unbelievable and always want playing together with”- Mohammed Kudus Reveals the Tottenham Star He’s ‘A Big Fan’ Of – And It’s Not Who You Think!”
Tottenham Star ‘Furious’ in Clash vs Leeds as Ex-FIFA Official Weighs in on Controversial Incident
Tottenham secured a crucial away victory in Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off, defeating a Leeds United side that hadn’t lost at Elland Road in over a year. Mathys Tel opened the scoring for Spurs with a deflected effort, but Leeds responded before halftime through Noah Okafor, who slotted in from close range.
Shortly before the hour mark, Tottenham regained the lead thanks to a stunning long-range effort from Mohamed Kudus. His strike took a slight deflection, though it appeared destined to trouble the goalkeeper regardless. The win marks a much-needed return to form for Spurs, who had gone three league matches without a victory—excluding their Carabao Cup fixtures—having fallen behind in each of those recent outings.
Head coach Thomas Frank will be pleased to see his side take the lead twice and maintain their advantage the second time around, showcasing resilience and progress.
Kudus and Tel Reflect on Spurs’ Victory
Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, match-winner Kudus shared his delight:
“I’ve definitely been waiting for my first goal with Tottenham. As a forward, scoring builds confidence. Credit to my teammate Mathys Tel—I admire how he trains and stays determined. Now we shift focus to our international duties and return with the same mindset. This is a big step forward.”
Tel, who netted the opening goal, also reflected on the hard-fought match:
“It was a tough game. Leeds played very well, but we deserved the win because we kept fighting until the end. I worked a lot on my finishing this week, so I’m really happy with the goal. I just want to keep helping the team. We work, fight, and win together. I’m proud of the performance and the win.”
Pundits React to Spurs’ Performance
Former England goalkeeper and TNT Sports pundit Joe Hart praised Tottenham’s grit:
“The biggest takeaway from Tottenham today is how hard they fought for the win. They were up for the battle. Leeds played really well, but Spurs had two magical moments and earned the three points.”
Ex-Tottenham striker Peter Crouch added:
“This team is showing great character. Getting a late winner in Bodo/Glimt [Champions League] and then coming to Elland Road—an early kick-off in a tough atmosphere—and grinding out a win shows how far Thomas Frank has taken this side in a short time.”
