The first start since the injury.
Then Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski was behind the win after a brilliant solo raid on Leeds.
Swede Rodrigo Bentancur assisted the decisive goal, which meant 4-3.
Double defeats, including a knockout to Nottingham last time, looked like they were for Spurs. A history of goals against Leeds on Saturday meant it was 3-3 until the 83rd minute of the match.

The 22-year-old called his way into the penalty area from the right and served Rodrigo Bentancur to make it 4-3. The numbers that became the final score of the match.

But it was Leeds that started the strongest. Crysencio Summerville, after only ten minutes of play, was able to enter the Tottenham penalty area and calmly send it 1-0.
But after a quarter of an hour, it was time for a tie. Harry King Bombed at 1-1.
Then Leeds regained the lead.
Rasmus Christensen’s header found Rodrygo, who scored Leeds’ second goal of the match. But Tottenham refused to give up. Six minutes into the second, Ben Davies had a chance from distance – and he took it. He fired a shot that found its way behind Hugo Lloris in the Tottenham goal. 2-2.

Drama in the last minutes
And of course it wasn’t there.
Rodrygo scored his second goal when he quietly scored to make it 3-2 in the 76th minute.
Five minutes later came the next Spurs response. Bentancur got the ball at his feet in the penalty area and fired a powerful shot that hit the goal.
Finally, it was Kulusevsky who moved forward, and with him Bentancur, who scored his second goal of the day, tied the score 4-3.
The win meant that Tottenham climbed to third place in the Premier League. Later tonight, the Newcastle fourth team faces Chelsea.
