Jayden Bogle Escapes Red Card After Studs-up Challenge on Mathys Tel in Leeds vs Tottenham

VAR spent more than 4 minutes reviewing the challenge before officials allowed the on-field decision to stand, leaving Leeds with 11 players.

  • On Saturday, Leeds United defender Jayden Bogle escaped a red card after VAR reviewed his 34th-minute challenge on Tottenham forward Mathys Tel at Elland Road. Officials determined the tackle was reckless rather than serious foul play.
  • The collision left Tel writhing in pain after Bogle's boot caught his ankle with his studs. The forward attempted to play through the discomfort for five minutes before signaling to the bench for a substitution.
  • Commentators heavily criticized the decision. Steven Gerrard noted the referee should have viewed the monitor, while lead commentator Darren Fletcher remarked, "No sense at all" regarding the officiating outcome.
  • Tel was replaced by Dominic Solanke in the 43rd minute, having recently impressed with a goal in the 2-0 win over Chelsea. Tottenham now faces uncertainty over his fitness during the international break.
  • This setback compounds injury concerns for Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi, as key attackers Savio and Mykhailo Mudryk remain sidelined. The club awaits a medical assessment to determine the extent of Tel's injury.
