Leeds beat Tottenham 1-0 to end winless league run

Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road, ending a five-match winless run in the Premier League. Noah Okafor scored the only goal with about 10 minutes remaining, finishing a move set up by substitute Harry Wilson.

The win came after Leeds had gone five league games without a victory. Tottenham arrived having won their previous three league matches. The result ended that run and gave Leeds their first league win since their spell without a victory began.

Leeds improved after half-time and found the breakthrough when Wilson and Okafor, both introduced from the bench, combined. Wilson supplied the pass and Okafor finished to settle a match in which neither side had scored before the closing stages.

A first-half incident involving Leeds defender Jayden Bogle and Tottenham forward Mathys Tel was reviewed by VAR for a possible red card. Bogle was not sent off. Tel was forced off injured after the challenge. Tottenham had also seen a possible handball penalty appeal dismissed after Mateus Fernandes attempted to play the ball back to goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky; VAR judged that Fernandes had not committed a handball offence.
