79 mins: A yellow card for Rodon. And if the decisive blow has yet to be landed here, it looks like it might have happened across town at Millwall:
77 mins: It’s all gone very quiet. The stakes are high and the quality is, well, variable, and the combination is not good for the nerves.
ShareGOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Leeds (Calvert-Lewin, 74 mins)
And Spurs let the lead slip! It’s an absolute beauty of a penalty from Calvert-Lewin, hard, high and into the side netting.

73 mins: Calvert-Lewin will take the penalty …
SharePenalty to Leeds!
73 mins: Tel, scorer of the Spurs goal, has conceded a penalty. I think it’s harsh, but not inexplicable. Alan Smith on Sky says “it’s difficult to argue with that decision, in fairness”.
71 mins: Jarred Gillett had been told to watch the replays for himself. This is looking bad for Spurs.
70 mins: I mean, he was kicked in the head, but by a player who seemed to check before attempting the overhead that nobody was coming to contest the ball, and would have had no idea that Ampadu was incoming at pace.
69 mins: Stach attempts to score with a left-foot volley, and profoundly fails to do so. The ball deflects into the air. Tel tries to overhead-kick clear just as Ampadu tries to head the ball, and the Leeds player goes down. Play stops while he gets treatment to a head injury, and VAR is checking for a possible penalty.

66 mins: A booking for Palhinha, for a foul on Nmecha that was not very violent but was quite two-footed.
63 mins: Two more changes for Leeds: James and Aaronson go off, and Gnonto and Nmecha come on.
61 mins: A nice little exchange of passes from Leeds, who work the ball in from the left, James touches to Calvert-Lewin, who pops it straight back again, and James shoots wide from 20 yards.
58 mins: Chance for a second! the ball is looped up towards Kolo Muani, who lifts it over Bornauw (who promptly falls over) and then squares to Richarlison. The ball comes to the Brazilian very quickly but the goal is largely unguarded and he only needs to hit the target. He does not.
56 mins: The first substitution of the night sees Leeds bring Sebastiaan Bornauw on for Struijk.
54 mins: “I feel like I have seen Tel try to take that shot and miss it at least two dozen times,” writes Matthew Carpenter-Arevalo. “Finally, it came off! “ Tel’s first goal of the season came against Leeds. Perhaps his last will also.
52 mins: That’s a tale of two gorgeous touches from Tel. The first kills the ball dead, the second sends it arcing beyond Darlow. His hasn’t been an overwhelming performance, but that was pure class.

Tottenham have the lead! The corner is headed out to Tel on the edge of the area, and he curls a beauty into the far post!

50 mins: Having concentrated their attacking down the left in the first half, in the early minutes of the second Spurs have been looking right. This time, Kolo Muani wins a corner.
46 mins: Richarlison jumps for that pump forward and catches Bijol with a stray elbow. It’s unlikely that Richarlison can have seen him coming, but if the referee isn’t getting busy the Leeds physios are.
46 mins: Peeeep! Spurs kick off, roll back, and pump forward.
The players are back out and ready to roll. No halftimely substitutions to report.
“I realise that Leeds aren’t the story tonight, but I feel they haven’t been praised enough for their brilliant campaign,” writes Kari Tulinius. “I worried for them because they never seemed to have any luck, but they never got discouraged. When things go against a promoted side early on, heads start to droop and before long they’re circling the drain. Leeds played with verve and vim throughout the season.”
Their results since 1 December have been pretty extraordinary: for a newly-promoted side to have the seventh-best record in the division for most of the season – 22 games now, about to be 23 – and with fewer defeats than ever team except Manchester City, Manchester United, Bournemouth and Arsenal (with whom they’re level with four) is really something.
Also going on right now: the second leg of the Championship playoff between Millwall and Hull. They have now played three halves of football across the last four days and nobody has scored in any of them. Daniel Harris is watching it all happen:
ShareHalf time: Tottenham 0-0 Leeds
45+5 mins: The whistle blows and the half ends. Spurs have had 61.7% of possession and 10 of the 13 shots, but they need to step up the quality.
45+4 mins: Tel has seen a lot of the ball in this half, and done a couple of decent things with it (and quite a lot of less good ones). He gets a good chance to cross from the left, and loops the ball straight to Darlow.
45+2 mins: The offside decision is upheld, by a whisker. Two minutes of stoppage time were indicated and are almost up, but they have been entirely stoppage so perhaps we’ll get some more.
45 mins: Leeds want a penalty! They get an offside flag! Calvert-Lewin is played through by Tanaka at the end of a fine, swift move, and Udogie seems to drag him down by the arm. But the flag is up! VAR will of course check the offside, and then if necessary the penalty.
43 mins: Tel is brought down on the Spurs left, Stach standing briefly on top of his foot, goes down with a loud whelp, rolls around holding his ankle for a bit, and wins a free-kick.
41 mins: A yellow card! Danso trips Aaronson, less a foul than a really slow-witted tackle, and the referee takes his name.
40 mins: Tanaka lets the ball run across his body as it’s passed across the edge of the Spurs area until it’s in the perfect spot for a left-footed shot. Then he lets it run a bit further, and then he falls over trying to reach it and shoots way wide.
39 mins: This season Spurs have averaged five corners per Premier League match. They’ve just taken their sixth of the night. This one actually finds a Spurs head, but Bentancur sends it wide.
36 mins: What a chance for Joao Palhinha! Tel’s cross from the left is headed to the edge of the box by Bijol but Palhinha picks it up, cuts onto his left foot, takes it past a couple of defenders and then scoops it over the bar from about eight yards!

35 mins: “It’s not going to be a night for free-flowing, attractive football,” says Alan Smith on co-commentary. Give us something encouraging, Alan!
32 mins: Madness and chaos! Darlow is punished for holding on to the ball a bit too long, giving Spurs a corner and sending Farke into paroxysms on the touchline. The ball drops to Richarlison, who completely fluffs his shot when well placed, and then to Porro, who completely nails his when less well placed but it hits a defender.
