Okafor the difference despite Van Hecke defiance – Leeds v Spurs ratings

Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road, ending Spurs’ mini-revival with Noah Okafor scoring a late winner. The result turned on Daniel Farke’s substitution: Okafor came on and found the net two minutes later.

Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu and goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky were among the players rated highly, while Jan Paul van Hecke impressed for Spurs and nearly rescued a point with a late effort. Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford made a vital save from Van Hecke in the closing moments. Jayden Bogle was fortunate to avoid a red card after a late challenge on Mathys Tel, who had to leave the match injured.
