Tottenham requests explanation after controversial tackle during match against Leeds

Summary

Tottenham Hotspur has lodged an official complaint with Pro Ref concerning a tackle by Leeds United's Jayden Bogle during their match on November 9, 2026. Former Premier League referees, including Dermot Gallagher and Mike Dean, believe Bogle should have received a red card for his challenge on Spurs' Mathys Tel. The tackle resulted in Tel being substituted early due to injury. Referee Jarred Gillett did not penalize Bogle, leading Spurs to seek clarification on the decision. Leeds has condemned racist abuse directed at Bogle following the incident and is collaborating with authorities to address it.
