FA launch official investigation into controversial incident with Tottenham player

3 hours ago 19

The Football Association are investigating what happened immediately after Mohammed Kudus’ goal for Tottenham against Leeds United on Saturday.

The win at Elland Road was a huge result for Spurs after back-to-back draws in the Premier League against Brighton and Wolves.

The result took Tottenham back into third place in the Premier League table and ensured that, after nearly two years, the Lilywhites went into an international break on the back of a win.

While it was all celebrations at the full-time whistle for the Spurs players, the clash was marred by some unfortunate crowd incidents.

FA investigating Leeds fans after Tottenham incident

According to The Mirror, the FA have now launched a probe into the conduct of the home fans at Elland Road after objects were thrown at visiting Spurs players.

The first incident saw a vape thrown at Pedro Porro as he was about to take a corner. Porro made light of the incident by pretending to smoke the wape, but the next incident was no laughing matter.

Mohammed Kudus netted what proved to be the match-winner on 57 minutes, which was the Ghanaian’s first goal for the club, and he pulled out his trademark celebration by sitting on a steward’s stool.

While the Tottenham winger was seated, a bottle appeared to be thrown in his direction by the home fans, which only narrowly missed the 25-year-old.

None of the Spurs players reacted to the projectile being thrown, but the FA have now commenced their investigation into the incident, which could lead to Leeds being hit with a significant fine.

Tottenham showed excellent game management at Elland Road

While Frank is yet to get everything right at Spurs, what is already clear is that the players have full faith in the system and know exactly what to do to manage games.

There is no sense of panic when defending slender leads, with there seemingly being a quiet sense of confidence in the Tottenham players that they can shut shop if they want to.

The Spurs stars are getting carried away by emotions during the ebbs and flows of the game, which was also evidenced by the Spurs players not reacting to having objects thrown at them.
