Leeds beat Tottenham 1-0 with late Okafor goal, Spurs file protest over Bogle challenge

Leeds United earned a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road after substitute Noah Okafor scored two minutes after coming on. The goal came following manager Daniel Farke's tactical adjustments, which saw the team shift from a 3-5-2 to a 4-2-3-1 and then to a 3-4-3 before reverting to a back four in the second half.

"There’s no replacement for this winning feeling," Farke said after the match. "All my credit goes to the boys for a terrific performance against an in-form Spurs side. It was important to be tactically spot on against their processes."

Tottenham were unable to create clear chances and their bid for a fourth consecutive league win stalled. The match was marked by a controversial challenge from Jayden Bogle on Mathys Tel, which left the forward unable to continue. Although video review showed significant contact, officials ruled the incident did not constitute serious foul play and did not issue a red card. Tottenham announced they will submit a formal complaint to the Professional Referee Organization regarding the decision.

"The second half we didn’t show the same spirit," Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi said. "We didn’t show the hunger we need for these types of big games. We have to analyse. Many games like this can be a problem for us."

Leeds' victory gave them three points after a run of five winless league games, while Tottenham's result ended their pursuit of a four-match winning streak.
