Dominic Calvert-Lewin makes Leeds United admission upon Tottenham defeat with personal chances declaration — YEP 5/10/25

Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has given his assessment of Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin made an honest Leeds United admission in the face of defeat to Tottenham Hotspur with a personal chances declaration.

Leeds suffered a third defeat of the Premier League season in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against Thomas Frank’s side who left Elland Road with a 2-1 victory through strikes from Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel.

Noah Okafor provided the sole goal for Daniel Farke’s Whites but Leeds squandered several good other chances and Calvert-Lewin - who had two of them himself - admitted his team were guilty of not putting Spurs to the sword when they should have.

On a personal front, Calvert-Lewin sliced one good chance wide before later being denied by a strong save from Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario’s legs.

The striker also squandered three good chances in last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth but the 28-year-old is taking recent misses on the chin and thinking only about making the next chance count for his new side.

"Frustrating. A frustrating afternoon,” said Calvert-Lewin to TNT Sports.

"I think we were in positions in the game where we should have taken advantage and we didn't.

"Against good teams like Spurs you get punished so frustrating."

Pressed on Leeds producing a good competitive overall performance against Spurs, Calvert-Lewin declared: "It's what we expect from ourselves. We can compete at this level and more.

"We knew that Spurs were a good side, I think probably against the run of play we went 1-0 down and then worked hard to get ourselves back in the game.

"There were good chances for myself and others that we perhaps should have taken but that's the way it goes in the Premier League."

Pressed whether it was a case of chances just not falling for Leeds, Calvert-Lewin reasoned: "Not today, that's the life of the striker but you think about the next one constantly and make sure the next one is a goal."

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...

By Mark Carruthers The latest transfer talk from Elland Road as Leeds United prepare to return to the Premier League with a home game against Everton on Monday night. Leeds United are reportedly ‘advancing’ with a deal to secure another defensive addition to their squad ahead of the new Premier League season. The Whites have already enjoyed a productive summer transfer window by completing the signings of Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri, midfield duo Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach and free agent forward Lukas Nmecha. Another attacking signing is believed to be close to completing after a deal was agreed with former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin following his release from Everton. Daniel Farke’s defensive ranks have already been boosted by the arrivals of Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jaka Bijol since promotion was secured last season - and there have now been claims the Whites are progressing with a move for Leicester City full-back James Justin as he looks to...
