But the English media don't care about all that. Celebrating wins and criticizing losses is their basic practice, especially when it comes to criticizing managers like Mourinho who don't usually pay much attention to reporters. The highly aggressive news headlines made Li Shiguang, who was watching the drama unfold in Leeds, exclaim with delight!
Two days after the Champions League ended, the Premier League resumed its intense competition. Several traditional powerhouses faced teams from the lower half of the league this round, so most media outlets focused on the Tottenham vs. Leeds United and Blackburn vs. Arsenal matches.
In their last encounter, Tottenham suffered a narrow defeat by one goal, and this time, returning to White Hart Lane, they were naturally looking to get revenge. The match was indeed very intense.
Rivaldo broke the deadlock with a long-range shot just nine minutes into the game, but the lead was short-lived. In the 22nd minute, Tottenham equalized through a quick counter-attack by Keane, and the two sides went into the second half with a score of 1-1.
The second half continued with intense play from both teams, maintaining a fast pace. In the 68th minute, Modric took a corner kick, and Kompany capitalized in the box, heading the ball powerfully to put Leeds United back in the lead. However, Tottenham's counter-attack came even faster than in the first half. Just one minute later, Keane drew a foul from Kompany in the box, earning a yellow card and a penalty. Keane converted the penalty, leveling the score once again.
The intense goal-fest thrilled the fans, and the two teams ultimately drew 2-2.
