Leeds fans ‘soft southern b*****d’ chant to Spurs star Dejan Kulusevski backfires badly

Leeds United fans' "soft southern b*****d" chant to Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski backfired on them in embarrassing fashion.

The Swedish winger was targeted by the travelling Leeds supporters during Saturday's match between the two sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. According to the Evening Standard's Dan Kilpatrick, Leeds fans could be heard singing: "You're just a soft southern b*****d," in the direction of Kulusevski.

However, the only problem with their chant is that Kulusevski, who was born in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, is actually from a city over 300 miles further north of the equator than Leeds.

Stockholm is located 4,099.5 miles north of the equator, meanwhile, Leeds is further south at a distance of 3,717.2 miles away from the equator.

To make matters worse for the travelling fans, Kulusevski later exposed Leeds defences' weaknesses as he skipped past Robin Koch before laying the ball on a plate for Rodrigo Bentancur to tap home the winning goal.

The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Spurs from Juventus, although the club have an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer if certain conditions are met.

Following his assist on Saturday, Kulusevski now has one goal and five assists in 12 appearances across all competitions this season. The Sweden international started the match before being withdrawn during stoppage time and replaced by Lucas Moura.

Leeds had gone in front twice during the first half through Crysencio Summerville and Rodrigo, either side of a Harry Kane equaliser.

Ben Davies levelled the score at 2-2 just six minutes into the second half, only for Rodrigo to restore the visitors' lead once again inside the final 15 minutes. However, seven minutes later Leeds found themselves trailing 4-3 after Bentancur's heroics.

The result saw Spurs return to winning ways after being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Nottingham Forest in midweek and losing to Liverpool last weekend.

Antonio Conte's side remain fourth in the table with a three-point buffer to fifth placed Manchester United. As for Leeds, who had won their last two in the league going into the match, they sit 15th and are just two points clear of the relegation zone.
