A STORY TO TEL
Football Daily didn’t get where it is today putting in more effort than is strictly necessary. But if Tottenham thought a Leeds team who had just guaranteed their own Premier League safety would give them an easy ride in their own harrowing survival battle, they were quickly disabused of any such notion. Lending credence to our possibly half-baked theory that most teams are determined to send Spurs down because it would be a great laugh, Daniel Farke’s side scarcely left an inch of grass uncovered at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While Spurs welcomed visitors whom they hoped would be sipping metaphorical mojitos “on the beach”, the dawning realisation that Leeds hadn’t travelled to London to mess about was a sight to behold. Leeds contested every loose ball, tackle and throw-in fiercely, showing the kind of intensity that has been conspicuously absent from much of Tottenham’s play this season. Only time will tell if the team from Yorkshire successfully pounded a nail into the Tottenham coffin lid but it certainly wouldn’t have been for the want of swinging the collective hammer.
