Premier League teams are being urged to take advantage of the weaker links in Thomas Frank’s start 11 at Tottenham.
Tottenham Edge Outries United win 2-1
Lily White was forced to show Real Grit again as the Spurs fight to head for a 2-1 victory at Leeds United in the early kickoffs today.

Noah Okafor created a game level before halftime, but Kudus’ Tottenham biased the first goal that presented Frank’s side to three talented points.
Ghanaian Man’s match display helped the Spurs become the first team to beat Leeds in a home turf in a league match for over a year.
Since moving £17 million from Empori in 2023, goalkeeper Guglielmo Viario has also made a key save in Yorkshire.
Vicario prevented Dominic Calvert Lewin from making it 2-1 just after halftime with a left foot stop before denying Leeds again in the final minutes, but the shotstopper was left at No Man’s Land when former Spurs defender Joe Rodon missed a chance for a gap early in the first half.
Italian International began the career of Lily White impressively under Ange Postecoglou, and since then he has made some great performances and pulled out match-winning saves, but Vicario attracted criticism for his handling of Cross.
Premier League rivals urged Gugliel Moviario to reveal at Tottenham
Former Newcastle and Crystal Palace midfielder Darren Ambrose spoke to Talksport earlier this week, but is sure Vicario has been “discovered” for this, urging him to use it for his Premier League rivals.
“Obviously, I didn’t play in defense, but I know I was in the changing room, I know what’s being said,” Ambrose said.
“He was discovered in terms of theatricality of the set, in terms of his crossover, his oral abilities. When I played, I was a set play taker.
There was a flash of this issue from Vicario against Leeds, especially as there is a chance for Rodon.
But Tottenham goalkeeping coaches can always tackle the keeper’s lack of confidence right now when it comes to claims.
The former Serie A-keeper is still very young in goalkeeping conditions and still has room for improvement, but former teammate Fraser Forster praised Vicario’s work ethic for getting a better behind the scenes.
“He’s great,” admitted Forster in 2023.
“He’s performed in the game very well and I think he’s making big saves. () It’s not easy to come to a new club, a new country.
“One of my fellow Celtics actually played with him in Emporio and he has been raving about him for years so as soon as he came here he said he was a very good goalkeeper.
