It was the center forward\u2019s first goal since Jan. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tels, however, turned villain 24 minutes later when his high foot was adjudged to have made contact with Ethan Ampadu\u2019s head inside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The referee pointed to the spot and Calvert-Lewin, who was denied a first-half penalty after a video review, confidently dispatched the spot kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both sides suffered through an edgy last few moments and a remarkable 15 minutes of added time but there were no more goals and Spurs, for whom goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was outstanding. They will content themselves that their destiny remains in their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe played a good game but there was big pressure,&#8221; Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t play calmly. We wanted to win immediately without passes. When you are fighting for relegation you can\u2019t play every game calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeeds played a good game and we hope they play like that against West Ham in the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spurs have taken eight out of a possible 12 points since De Zerbi\u2019s debut defeat at Sunderland on April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe deserve to stay up,&#8221; he said. \u201cWe will fight until the end. . . . Even if we had won today it wouldn\u2019t have been finished yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hull will play Southampton or Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final after second half goals from Mo Belloumi and Joe Gelhardt gave it a 2-0 win over Millwall in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belloumi\u2019s 64th-minute strike with his left foot broke the deadlock in the second game of the two-leg affair and Gelhardt made sure with a low shot that squirmed past the Millwall goalkeeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The win means Hull have one match to secure a place in the Premier League for the first time since it was relegated in 2017. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/spurs-draw-with-leeds-for-priceless-point-in-premier-league-survival-fight\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur took a small and potentially crucial step towards retaining its Premier League status after drawing at home with Leeds United 1-1 on Monday.
