Leeds ‘appalled’ by alleged racist abuse aimed at Jayden Bogle after Mathys Tel tackle

Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur have condemned the online racist abuse aimed at defender Jayden Bogle following Leeds' 1-0 Premier League victory on Saturday. Bogle was targeted after avoiding disciplinary action for a controversial first-half tackle on Spurs attacker Mathys Tel, which left Tel injured and forced off the pitch. Leeds and the Premier League pledged to work with authorities to hold those responsible accountable.

Referee John Brooks did not penalize Bogle, and a VAR review deemed there was no serious foul play. Tottenham plans to contact the refereeing body for an explanation regarding the decision, while Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi voiced frustration over the officiating. Leeds eventually won the match via a late goal from Noah Okafor.
