REGUILON COMPLETES COMEBACK AS SPURS BEAT LEEDS UNITED

Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Leeds United to give Antonio Conte his first Premier League win as the club’s head coach.

Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw both sent long-range efforts narrowly wide for the visitors before Dan James broke the deadlock at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 44 minutes, tapping in after skilful play from Jack Harrison.

The second half started frantically, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min both having shots deflected on to the woodwork either side of a Hugo Lloris save from James.

Spurs’ pressure eventually paid off when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg swept the ball into the bottom-right corner just before the hour.

The turnaround was completed 21 minutes from time when Sergio Reguilon reacted quickest to a Eric Dier free-kick that came off the post for his first Spurs goal.

Having ended a run of three league matches without victory, Spurs climb three places to seventh on 19 points.

Leeds stay 17th with 11 points and were the only side in the bottom seven not to claim points this weekend.
