Newly released footage shows the frightening moment Mohammed Kudus, Tottenham’s Ghanaian winger, almost got hit by a bottle hurled from the stands during his goal celebration at Elland Road.
Kudus had just scored Tottenham’s second in their 2–1 win over Leeds United and celebrated by sitting on a stadium stool in front of the home fans; his signature gesture. Moments later, a bottle soared past his head, missing him by inches.
Camera operators reacting quickly looked toward where the object originated, but thankfully no one was struck. The incident added an ugly edge to what was otherwise a crucial win for Spurs.
In his post-match remarks, Kudus scored a goal and contributed an assist, marking a pivotal night as he netted his first for Spurs since the summer move.
Football officials are reportedly investigating the incident. The FA is expected to take action if the thrower is identified, citing player safety and stadium behavior protocols.
The shocking episode has stirred calls for stricter crowd control measures, especially around goal celebrations when players are vulnerable and distractions are high
