Former Premier League striker and BBC pundit Alan Shearer has accused Leeds United and Jesse Marsch of being 'naïve' after their 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Despite leading three separate times throughout the game through goals from Crysencio Summerville and Rodrigo Moreno, the Whites still fell to 15th in the league table.
Harry Kane, Ben Davies and Rodrigo Bentancur were the goalscorers for the hosts as Leeds travelled back to Elland Road with no points in hand and will look to use the mid-season World Cup break to regain their momentum.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Sport Report, Shearer said that while Spurs showed good heart to get themselves back into the game, it fell upon Leeds to not be so unreliable defensively.
"I was sat next to Wrighty [Ian Wright] who was watching most of that game and he was twitching and jumping every few minutes so obviously I was aware of what was going on.
"I just spoke to Wrighty who said it was an unbelievable game and maybe a little bit of naivety from Leeds which has cost them a point but great character from Tottenham to come back."
