Eric Dier says that Leeds United are a side that creates ‘controlled chaos’ after playing them on Saturday.
Speaking to Tottenham Hotspur’s official App, Dier had a very honest appraisal on the game.
The Tottenham central defender admitted that he felt Leeds were the stronger side in the opening half of the contest.
And although Spurs did improve after the break, Dier suggested that his side could have few complaints about the final result.
“I thought Leeds were the better side first half, they make things very difficult,” he said, after Tottenham’s 3-1 defeat.
“They are very aggressive, they create controlled chaos from their point of view and we didn’t control that so far.
“We let ourselves get into their game a bit too much and then got back into it, but conceded again – poor goals we conceded.
“Second half we did better, especially for the first 30 minutes, we had a bit more control of the game but we didn’t create enough chances.”
Leeds’ ‘controlled chaos’ has brought great success this term, and they continue to go from strength to strength.
Leeds have now beaten Manchester City and Tottenham at Elland Road recently, and they also avoided defeat against Manchester United.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are starting to prove more than a match for some of the Premier League’s leading sides, and optimism is already building ahead of next campaign.
Leeds are currently in ninth place in the Premier League table, which represents great progress for the Yorkshire side in their first season back in the top flight.
