Roberto De Zerbi given Tottenham wake-up call as Luca Williams-Barnett puts teammate to shame

Football London's Jake Stokes argues that Luca Williams-Barnett made an impressive substitute appearance for Tottenham Hotspur against Leeds United, outshining fellow substitute Dejan Kulusevski. Stokes suggests Williams-Barnett should earn a starting spot when Tottenham host Ipswich Town after the international break, following Spurs' disappointing defeat at Elland Road where manager Roberto De Zerbi questioned his squad's character and courage.

The analysis also highlights Tottenham's attacking struggles, with Stokes pointing out that neither Dominic Solanke nor Omar Marmoush effectively threatened goalkeeper James Trafford. In addition, Stokes criticizes referee John Brooks and the VAR team for failing to issue a card to Leeds defender Jayden Bogle following a tackle on Mathys Tel.
