Leeds United were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League early kickoff today despite Noah Okafor’s first half goal, with Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus scoring either side of the interval.

This result leaves Leeds on eight points after seven games and heading into the international break, Dominic Calvert-Lewin isn’t disheartened by the performance.

The Leeds striker said: “It is a frustrating afternoon, given the work we put in to get ourselves in a good position. I think probably Spurs scored against the run of play and then we worked hard.

“There were chances from myself and others that on another day we should put in the back of the net, and ultimately this is the Premier League so you get punished.

“When I get chances, I expect myself to put them away so no one expects more from myself than myself.

“I wouldn't say pressure, just expectation from ourselves to continue the momentum that we have built,” the centre-forward added on the last few results.

“I think we should have got a better result against Bournemouth and we went into this game full of confidence as we will go into the next one.

“As a newly promoted side, people statistically say it is going to be harder for us than it is for other teams that are already in the Premier League.

“But I think we have showcased what we are capable of and how we can compete at this level and even against teams like Spurs and Newcastle, these good established Premier League sides that play in Europe.

“I think it is important to stay balanced. When you win, it is important not to get carried away. When you lose, it is important to not get too down about it.

“It is a long season. There are 31 games left and 31 chances for us to go and get three points.”
