Thank you!

Leeds have finally brought their winless run to a halt, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Tottenham at Elland Road.

Substitute Okafor broke the deadlock 11 minutes from time, handing the hosts only their second Premier League win against Spurs in 14 tries.

Farke’s side deserved the spoils, dominating the attacking metrics with an xG of 2.02 compared to their opponents’ 0.71.

The opening 45 minutes revolved around a pair of major VAR checks: first, Leeds were denied a penalty when the ball appeared to strike the top of Fernandes’ arm, before Bogle escaped a red card after catching Tel late on the back of the ankle.

Leeds continued to press for the opener as Farke hunted his first Premier League win against Spurs.

His substitutions proved to be masterstrokes, with Wilson and Okafor combining just two minutes after coming on.

Wilson kept Bard’s long throw alive for Okafor to pounce on the loose ball and fire past Kinsky.

It halts a six-match winless league run for Leeds, who prepare for a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on November 21.

Spurs, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from the end of their three-match winning streak when they welcome Ipswich on the same day.

Thanks for joining us today.

Until next time, goodbye!
