Substitute Noah Okafor scored after 79 minutes as Leeds United beat Tottenham 1–0 at Elland Road on Saturday, 7 November. Leeds’ official matchday report says the Swiss forward converted with his third touch after coming on. James Trafford then made an important added-time save to preserve the result.
Okafor replaced Lukas Nmecha alongside Harry Wilson’s introduction for Ao Tanaka. Leeds had already threatened through a Dominic Calvert-Lewin header cleared off the line and Sean Longstaff’s effort saved by Antonín Kinský. The home report also identifies the match as Longstaff’s 200th Premier League appearance, giving the midfielder a winning outcome on that milestone.
Sky’s report dated 7 November puts the result into recent form: Leeds ended a five-game winless run, while Tottenham’s sequence of three successive victories stopped. It also covered the debate over Jayden Bogle’s first-half challenge on Mathys Tel. Bogle remained on the field; former referee Mike Dean argued that the challenge merited a red card. That was an attributed assessment rather than a subsequent official ruling.
The match data records 16 Leeds attempts against Tottenham’s seven despite more possession for the visitors. The shot comparison provides context for the home threat. Leeds still needed Trafford’s late intervention against Jan Paul van Hecke’s header, combining the substitute’s finishing impact with the goalkeeper’s protection of the lead.
