Tottenham to lodge complaint over Mathys Tel injury against Leeds

Tottenham plan to lodge a formal complaint with refereeing body Pro Ref, seeking an explanation for why Jayden Bogle was not sent off after his challenge injured Mathys Tel in a 1-0 defeat by Leeds United.

Tel injured his ankle in the first half and had to leave the match. Referee John Brooks did not show Bogle a card, while the video assistant referee reviewed the incident for more than four minutes but did not recommend an on-field review. Bogle completed the match without receiving any punishment beyond a foul being given.

According to the source, the complaint will not change the result, but will express the club’s dissatisfaction with how the incident was handled. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi said he had not seen the incident clearly and that Tel’s injury was not the reason his team lost; he felt Tottenham had played well in the first half but deserved to lose after their second-half performance.
