- Antonin Kinsky made a last‑minute fingertip save against Leeds United, keeping the ball off the crossbar and earning Tottenham a point in the Premier League.
- Tottenham are now two points clear of West Ham in the relegation zone with two games remaining after the draw with Leeds.
- Guglielmo Vicario’s hernia surgery has forced Tottenham to start Kinsky in five league matches, where he has recorded one clean sheet, two wins, two draws, and one loss.
- Jamie Carragher called Kinsky’s Leeds save “one of the saves of the season,” and former West Ham defender Matthew Upson praised his confidence and decision‑making after the match.
- Antonin Kinsky previously endured a 17‑minute nightmare in the Champions League last‑16 against Atletico Madrid, conceding three goals before being substituted by Igor Tudor.
Why it matters: Tottenham gains a crucial point and a morale lift in the relegation battle, while Kinsky restores his reputation and secures his place; West Ham remains under pressure to close the gap.
