Keane deepens Leeds’ depression

Tottenham 2 Leeds Utd 0

Venables signed Sheringham for Spurs first time around a decade ago and also coached him as manager of England. But there was no room for sentiment as the Tottenham skipper pounced on a loose ball on the right edge of the Leeds box and steered a low curling drive inside the far post after 11 minutes.

Keane was sold by Venables to Spurs for £7million two months ago, and the Ireland striker showed what Leeds were missing with a sweet strike from the edge of the box four minutes before the half-time break. The pressure increased on Venables after defeat against one of his former clubs stretched the club's run to just one victory in their last nine Premiership matches.
