Jamie Carragher believes Roberto De Zerbi will be “furious” with Tottenham Hotspur's Mathys Tel after a costly blunder in their match against Leeds United. This clash showcased Tel's duality; he scored a stunning long-range goal to give Spurs a 1-0 lead but later conceded a penalty that ultimately cost his team the win.
Tel's high-footed clearance caught Leeds midfielder Ethan Ampadu, allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to equalize from the spot. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Spurs just two points above the relegation zone with two matches remaining. Carragher criticized Tel’s “really poor decision,” emphasizing that he should have recognized Ampadu's presence before making that risky play.
Despite the mistake, Carragher acknowledged Tel's potential, noting his significant contributions in recent games, including a goal and assists. De Zerbi may be frustrated, but he recognizes Tel’s talent as a young player crucial to Spurs' current lineup, especially amid injuries.
On the brighter side for Tottenham, goalkeeper Kinsky made a crucial late save to deny Sean Longstaff, earning praise from Carragher for his impressive performance after a rocky outing against Atletico Madrid earlier this season.
