Tottenham come back to beat Everton
Antonio Conte got his first Premier League win as Spurs manager and
smashed on in the second half while beaten one goal down in the first half
by Leeds and bounced back by beating them two goals to one.
There were some boos from the home fans as Tottenham left the pitch for
the break, but Conte’s side were much improved after the restart, twice
hitting the woodwork early on.
The equaliser arrived just before the hour mark when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
curled into the far corner after good work by Lucas Moura.
Tottenham kept up the pressure and the turnaround was complete in the
69th minute when Eric Dier’s free-kick deflected off the wall and onto the
post, but Sergio Reguilon was there to poke in the rebound and score his
first Premier League goal for Spurs.
The home side then closed out the game to secure a win that moves them up
to seventh, four points off the top four.
Leeds, meanwhile, remain 17th and just two points above the relegation
zone.
