Calvert-Lewin denies Spurs with Leeds equaliser to leave survival in balance

The story should have been about Mathys Tel deciding it was time to unfurl the brilliance that took the French forward to Bayern Munich when he was a teenager. Tottenham were closing in on survival when the 21-year-old broke the deadlock against Leeds United but Roberto De Zerbi has been in north London long enough to know nothing is straightforward when his team play at home.Disaster was on the way, Tel’s wild challenge on Ethan Ampadu allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to equalise from the spot. Tottenham, who have not won at home in the league since December, had missed the chance to move four points clear of 18th-placed West Ham with two games to play. It is likely that this shootout for survival with West Ham will come down to whether Tottenham can win when they host Everton on the final day. Continue reading...

Leeds United fans bask in glory of first FA Cup semi-final in 40 years as club eyes Wembley against Chelsea

Leeds United prepare for their first FA Cup semi-final in nearly 40 years, facing Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday. The club, which lost the 1973 final to Sunderland, has endured a largely disappointing FA Cup history since Billy Bremner lifted the trophy in 1972, with humiliating exits at Crawley, Histon, Sutton, Hereford, Newport and Rochdale. Fans from across Yorkshire and beyond share emotional anticipation, with some travelling from the Middle East and others planning to combine the semi-final with the London Marathon. The match comes as Leeds battle for Premier League survival, though 40 points may already ensure their top-flight status.
