Leeds vs. Tottenham: Head-to-head record and past meetings

A rejuvenated Tottenham Hotspur seized all three points in a hard-fought 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday.

Daniel Farke's men struck the post within the opening 10 minutes, but it was Thomas Frank's visitors that took the lead when Mathys Tel's deflected effort found the top-right corner.

However, the Whites responded in kind with an equaliser courtesy of Noah Okafor, who latched onto the rebound after some fine work from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Brendan Aaronson forced a stop from Guglielmo Vicario.

The hosts continued to push early in the second half, but Mohammed Kudus, who assisted Spurs' first, dribbled infield from the right flank and slotted a clever reverse finish into the bottom-right corner that gave Karl Darlow no chance, securing another win for the Lilywhites.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Leeds and Tottenham.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 104

Leeds United wins: 33

Draws: 29

Tottenham Hotspur wins: 42

Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur have faced each other a total of 104 times across all competitions, with Spurs leading the overall head-to-head record having posted 42 wins to the Whites' 33, while 29 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

October 1924's meeting was the very first time these two clubs locked horns, with Leeds claiming a narrow 1-0 home win in the old Division One, before Spurs responded with 2-1 and 3-1 home victories in their next two encounters

Leeds and Tottenham regularly butted heads in Division One over the years and there was very little to separate them both. Indeed, Spurs celebrated 24 victories up until the early 1990s, just four more than the Whites managed (20), while there were also 20 draws registered between the two sides.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Leeds and Tottenham have played against each other 31 times in total and the Whites have won 12 of those (D6 L13), including an emphatic 5-0 home victory in August 1992 when Eric Cantona scored a superb hat-trick - this result represents the biggest winning margin by either club in this fixture.

Leeds enjoyed a six-game winning run against Tottenham between 1999 and 2001, scoring 13 goals in the process, but the tables have since turned in Spurs' favour, as they have come out on top in 10 of the last 12 Premier League meetings, scoring two or more goals in nine of those.

The last time that the Peacocks beat Spurs was back in May 2021, when they emerged 3-1 victors at Elland Road under former boss Marcelo Bielsa, but Tottenham have since won each of the last five league meetings by an aggregate score of 16-6.

Most recently, Thomas Frank's Londoners made the trip north in October 2025, and took all three points after an entertaining 2-1 clash in the rain that saw Mohammed Kudus play a starring role, assisting the opener before scoring the winner in the second half.

Outside of league football, Leeds and Tottenham have never been drawn against each other in the EFL Cup, but they have locked horns in six FA Cup ties, with Spurs winning four of those (including three via a replay) and Leeds winning two.
