Leeds holds Chelsea, Spurs defeated in Tuesday’s Premier League action

A dramatic night of Premier League action delivered late twists and standout performances across the grounds, with points shared at Stamford Bridge and vital away wins for Newcastle United and Bournemouth.

Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds United in an absorbing contest in west London. 

Joao Pedro gave the hosts an early lead before Cole Palmer doubled the advantage from the penalty spot, but Leeds refused to fold. 

Nmecha pulled one back with a spot-kick of his own and Noah Okafor struck a late equaliser, silencing the home crowd after sustained second-half pressure.

Despite Chelsea dominating possession and chances in the closing stages, they were left frustrated by missed opportunities. 

Palmer squandered a gilt-edged chance from close range in stoppage time, while Joao Pedro saw a header clip the crossbar as Leeds clung on for a hard-earned point.

Leeds United forward Lukas Nmecha believes the result is a reflection of their hard work to avoid relegation.

“It showed our hard work. We tried to choke them out, and it worked. A point here is very respectful. We’re in a fight to stay in the Premier League.” Nmecha said.

Newcastle United claimed a significant 2-1 victory away at Tottenham Hotspur, deepening the sense of crisis around the north London club. 

After an early effort was ruled out, Newcastle took the lead through Malick Thiaw before Spurs briefly rallied when Archie Gray levelled. 

However, Jacob Ramsey restored Newcastle’s advantage, and the visitors held firm amid mounting pressure.

Tottenham’s late push lacked fluency, with boos ringing out at full-time as large sections of the stadium emptied early. 

Home supporters voiced their anger, chanting against the club’s direction as Spurs slipped further down the Premier League table following another damaging defeat.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth secured a crucial 2-1 win at Everton. After Iliman Ndiaye opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the hosts, the Cherries hit back through Rayan before Amine Adli netted the decisive goal. 

Everton finished the match with 10 men after O’Brien was sent off, compounding a difficult night at Goodison Park.
