""We didn't play a great game. We played a good game," De Zerbi told BBC Match of the Day. "I think we deserved to win anyway, but maybe the pressure, the crucial game, the crucial part of the season, we suffered too much. "Anyway, I am happy because I watched my players with the right spirit, with the right mentality. We made too many mistakes."
""If we want to win we have to reduce the mistakes, but we knew before this game it would be tough until the end of the season. It is tough for us and tough for everyone.""
"Spurs opened the scoring in the 50th minute through Tel, who took a touch before curling a sensational strike into the top-right corner, but he conceded a penalty soon afterwards for a high foot on Ethan Ampadu, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin dispatching the resulting spot-kick."
"However, it could have been much worse for Spurs, who were indebted to goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who produced a stunning stop in second-half stoppage time to tip Sean Longstaff's shot onto the crossbar."
Tottenham drew 1-1 with Leeds United, missing an opportunity to move clear of the relegation zone. Mathys Tel scored for Spurs with a curling strike after taking a touch, but he conceded a penalty shortly afterward for a high foot on Ethan Ampadu, which Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted. Antonin Kinsky made a late stoppage-time save to tip Sean Longstaff’s shot onto the crossbar, preventing a worse outcome. Leeds’ equaliser increased nervousness among home supporters. De Zerbi said Spurs deserved to win but suffered too much under pressure and made too many mistakes, adding that the team must improve in adversity in the final two league games.
