Richarlison urges – Richarlison said Tottenham need to “do our part” after a 1-1 draw with Leeds left them unbeaten in four games, while stressing that West Ham’s trip to Newcastle could decide where Spurs stand after this weekend’s results.
When Tottenham’s afternoon against Leeds ended 1-1 at home on Monday, it didn’t just extend their unbeaten run to four games. It also left another chance on the table—one that could have pushed 18th-placed West Ham closer to the brink.
Richarlison felt the weight of that missed opportunity, but he also pointed forward to the next swing in the relegation fight. Spurs are 17th in the Premier League, holding a two-point advantage over the bottom three ahead of this weekend, where Roberto De Zerbi’s side have no fixture.
Deeper still, the next set of results could change everything. Tottenham are next in action on Tuesday away to rivals Chelsea, with Chelsea contesting Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City. And if West Ham win at Newcastle on Sunday, Spurs could drop into the relegation zone.
Richarlison said Tottenham will keep an eye on the West Ham game at Newcastle—but insisted their focus must stay on their own job. “We’ll be keeping an eye on our opponent (West Ham), but we need to do our part.”
He framed their task in simple terms: don’t get pulled into the noise of other matches. “We have the advantage of scoring well away from home, so it’s about staying calm.”
The moment still stings for Spurs. After an intense match. they conceded a penalty goal against Leeds. a detail Richarlison returned to as he explained what comes next. “We played a very intense game (against Leeds), unfortunately we conceded a penalty goal, it’s part of football. Now it’s about continuing with these last two games.”.
For him, the numbers are tight enough that every point matters now. “It’s tough, but point by point we’re making progress and depending on the result of next weekend’s game, with one more point we can avoid relegation.”
Individually, Richarlison’s season has been strong. He has scored 11 goals in all competitions and has won five points with his strikes in the Premier League. In a campaign where margins are turning into fate. that kind of output becomes more than personal—it changes how close Spurs can come to safety with each match.
As they turn toward Chelsea on Tuesday—before the results from Sunday’s West Ham game at Newcastle and whatever the table brings next—his message is clear. The relegation battle isn’t something they can solve by watching from the outside. They’ll need to earn the calm they’re asking for. game by game. with two matches left after this weekend’s context closes in.
