Leeds manager Daniel Farke took well-earned acclaim from the travelling fans after another hard-earned point that reflected so well on him and his players.

Farke's mission for this season was to ensure Leeds stayed in the Premier League - one that has been accomplished with time to spare.

Leeds' attitude in this 1-1 draw was exemplary, with no sign of easing up even though Spurs' need was clearly greater than theirs.

Farke's side contested the game fiercely, and could easily have dropped Spurs further into trouble had keeper Antonin Kinsky not made that miraculous stoppage-time save from Sean Longstaff.

The FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea at Wembley was a major disappointment, but overall this season has been a highly-satisfactory one for Farke and Leeds, who can now use the summer to further establish themselves in the Premier League next term.
