Leeds United break unwanted 10-year old stat in dramatic late Tottenham defeat

Leeds United have become the first team in almost 10 years to lose a Premier League match in which they have been leading on three separate occasions. The Whites were beaten 4-3 at Tottenham Hotspur following Rodrigo Bentancur's quickfire brace in the final 10 minutes.

Leeds had gone in front through Crysencio Summerville inside the opening 10 minutes, with Rodrigo Moreno also putting Jesse Marsch's side 2-1 and 3-2 ahead. But Leeds failed to hold onto any of those leads and left the capital frustrated and empty handed.

Newcastle United were the last team to do so on Boxing Day in 2012, when they were beaten 4-3 at Manchester United. Giving away leads is something that has not been uncommon for Leeds so far this season, having done so against Bournemouth, Liverpool, Fulham and Crystal Palace, as well as Saturday, in recent weeks.
