The Story in 60 Seconds

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to lodge a formal complaint with refereeing body Pro Ref after Leeds United defender Jayden Bogle avoided a red card during Saturday's match at Elland Road. Following a five-minute review by Video Assistant Referee Tony Harrington, on-field referee John Brooks was not sent to the monitor, leaving Bogle completely unpunished after catching a Spurs forward on the ankle.

Leeds ultimately won the game through a late Noah Okafor goal, ending Tottenham's three-match winning streak. Despite the contentious officiating incident, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi refused to blame the refereeing for the loss, admitting his side deserved to lose following a poor second-half display.
