Tottenham head into the break for the World Cup with a huge win on their side, having beat Leeds United 4-3 in a dramatic clash in North London. Spurs went into the break 2-1 down to the Yorkshire side after Crysencio Summerville and Rodrigo scored either side of Harry Kane's equaliser.
Ben Davies responded shortly after the break, but Rodrigo bagged a second goal just 15 minutes from time to give the visitors the lead once again. It wouldn't last though as Rodrigo Bentancur was the saviour once again in front of goal, scoring a two-minute brace in the last few minutes to secure all three points.
It leaves Spurs fourth in the table before the month-long break for the World Cup and takes off some pressure hanging over their heads during that time. "There is the positive aspect that we finished this period after a big effort in the next round Champions League, we finished first in our group, and then to stay in the top four in the Premier League is always good news, especially for us," Antonio Conte told reporters after the game.

"It means that the effort was really big and at the same time I have to be really pleased with the commitment and behaviour of my players and honestly I have to consider everything and for this reason, I think that we did a really good job in the first half of the season."
It's never boring at Tottenham at the moment, having had a habit of falling behind but winning the game in dramatic fashion as of late. While there will be hope for more consistency and quicker starts, the highest of highs are often achieved when fighting against adversity and falling behind.
That's exactly what happened again against Leeds and the reaction of Conte, his staff and Richarlison showed every emotion possible on the bench. A video from Tottenham shows the moment the winning goal was scored as the head coach run and jumped into a mosh of his fellow staff members.
Richarlison was also viewed jumping onto the pitch from the sidelines, having been substituted moments earlier as Spurs looked for an answer in the game. It proves the togetherness of the whole squad towards their one unified goal, but there's still plenty of work to reach that stage.
