Leeds’ Striker Woes Deepen in 2-1 Loss to Spurs

Calls to prioritise a January striker grow after another low-return outing up front.

Overview

  • Tottenham won 2-1 at Elland Road as Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus scored for the visitors after Noah Okafor’s first-half equaliser.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin failed to convert chances and drew strong backlash from Leeds supporters following another goalless display.
  • The summer free-transfer signing from Everton has produced very few goals for Leeds, with reports noting only one strike so far this season.
  • Match data cited via FotMob showed limited involvement for Calvert-Lewin with 23 touches, two shots, 11-of-13 passing and no successful dribbles.
  • Analysis questioned Daniel Farke’s selections and slow substitutions and highlighted Gabriel Gudmundsson’s costly slip before Kudus’ winner, with multiple outlets urging a centre-forward addition in January.
