Okafor secures Leeds win at home to Tottenham
Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road, with substitute Noah Okafor scoring the winner. The result lifted Leeds above Tottenham into eighth place, while the visitors were frustrated that Jayden Bogle remained on the pitch after a VAR review of his tackle on Mathys Tel.
Okafor struck in the 79th minute, 97 seconds after coming on, driving a low shot from the edge of the area after a throw-in led to the ball reaching him. Tel was later substituted because of the challenge. Leeds had built momentum after half-time and created several chances; they now have 14 points, while Tottenham have 12.
