Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road. Substitute Noah Okafor scored the only goal in the 79th minute. Okafor found the net 97 seconds after coming on, and substitute Harry Wilson was involved in the move alongside him.

With this win, Leeds ended a six-match winless run. Spurs, on the other hand, saw their three-match winning streak come to an end. The home side moved up to eighth place, while Roberto De Zerbi's team dropped to 10th.

The most contentious moment of the match came when Jayden Bogle challenged Mathys Tel's Achilles tendon in the first half. Referee John Brooks awarded a foul but no further punishment. After a four-minute VAR review, Tony Harrington did not go to the pitchside monitor, and the challenge was judged reckless. Tel was injured as a result of the challenge and had to be substituted. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean said the challenge was 100 percent a red card.

De Zerbi reacted to the yellow card shown to Pedro Porro in the second half, and he was himself shown a yellow card for his reaction. After the international break, the head coach will serve a one-match touchline ban for his home match against Ipswich on 21 November.
