A silly mistake by a Tottenham player.

In the early hours of May 12th, Mathys Tel's inexplicable mistake resulted in Tottenham being held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds in the 36th round of the Premier League.

Ampadu suffered a head injury after Tel.'s clearance.

The 21-year-old striker went from "hero to villain" in an unintended way. At the start of the second half, Tel sent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into a frenzy with a spectacular curling shot that put the home team ahead.

The goal seemed to bring Roberto De Zerbi's team closer to securing their survival in the league. However, just 20 minutes later, the French player himself squandered all the advantage with a baffling mistake inside the penalty area.

In an attempt to clear the ball from a Leeds cross, Tel attempted a dangerous bicycle kick. Remarkably, he completely failed to see Ethan Ampadu heading the ball in. The Wales defender touched the ball first and was immediately kicked directly in the face by Tel.

Referee Jarred Gillett initially allowed play to continue, but after consulting VAR, he went to the monitor outside the pitch and decided to award Leeds a penalty. From the penalty spot, Dominic Calvert-Lewin made no mistake to equalize 1-1.

Tel's foul quickly sparked controversy on social media. Many fans criticized the young striker for his immaturity and lack of composure at a time when Tottenham were under the most pressure of the season.

One fan commented, "That's the most ridiculous way to gift a penalty to the opponent." While another sarcastically remarked, "Score a wonder goal and then immediately give the opponent an unbelievable penalty. Typical Mathys Tel."

Tel's disastrous mistake cost Tottenham the chance to extend their lead over West Ham to four points. Instead, Spurs are now just two points above the relegation zone with two games remaining, further plunging the London club into a precarious situation.
