Leeds ended Tottenham’s impressive run with a 1-0 victory on Saturday, thanks to a goal from Noah Okafor in the 79th minute. The Spurs, who had won three consecutive matches against Coventry, Chelsea and Crystal Palace, left Elland Road empty-handed.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side had reason for regret. Late in the first half, a severe foul on Mathys Tel went unpunished by the referee, a decision that fueled London frustration. Despite this perceived injustice, Tottenham failed to force a result and ultimately succumbed to Okafor’s sole strike, barely minutes after coming on.

For Leeds, this victory ended a run of five matches without a win and propels the club to 8th place in the standings, ahead of Tottenham who now sit in 10th.
