Marsch: Loss feels like my heart was ripped out

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch said he felt like someone “has ripped my heart out” after witnessing his side concede two goals in the final 10 minutes to fall to a 4-3 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.

Leeds led on three occasions at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, through an opening goal from Crysencio Summerville and a double from Rodrigo.

But, after Harry Kane and Ben Davies had already twice pulled Spurs level, Rodrigo Bentancur then scored a quickfire double, in the 81st and 83rd minutes, to leave the visitors without anything to show for their efforts.

Compounding the Yorkshire side’s misery, their United States international midfielder Tyler Adams was sent off for a second yellow card in the dying minutes.

“I’m gutted, I feel like someone has ripped my heart out,” Marsch told BBC Match of the Day. “I thought we had control of the match but then we let it slip.

“There’s obviously positives in there because in our good moments we look like we have quality, but in our bad we still look vulnerable and naive.”
