Ethan Ampadu was voted Leeds United’s Hisense Player of the Match by supporters following the Whites’ hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The skipper produced another commanding display at the heart of Daniel Farke’s side, helping Leeds earn a deserved point in North London with an influential all-round performance.
Ampadu played the full 90 minutes and was central to Leeds’ efforts both in and out of possession. The Welsh international recorded 67 touches and completed 42 passes, whilst also making nine carries for a total carrying distance of 90.4 metres.
Defensively, the Leeds captain was once again immense, registering 13 defensive contributions across the contest. Ampadu won two tackles, made three interceptions, produced two clearances and completed five recoveries, whilst also winning seven duels during a combative midfield battle.
His most important contribution came in the second half when he bravely won the penalty that earned Leeds a share of the spoils. Rising to meet the ball inside the Tottenham area, Ampadu was kicked in the head by Mathys Tel as he attempted the header, with the referee pointing to the spot after reviewing the challenge.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up to calmly convert the resulting penalty and secure an important away point for the Whites.
Supporters overwhelmingly backed Ampadu in the Hisense Player of the Match vote, with the Leeds captain receiving 66% of the votes cast.
Joe Rodon finished second with 16%, whilst Ao Tanaka claimed 6% and Jaka Bijol received 4%.
