Leeds United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road in the Premier League, ending Tottenham's three-match winning run. Substitute Noah Okafor netted the decisive goal in the 79th minute following an assist from fellow substitute Harry Wilson. The victory allowed Daniel Farke's side to move into eighth place with 14 points, while Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham dropped to tenth with 12 points.

Tottenham faced adversity earlier in the match when forward Mathys Tel was forced off injured before halftime following a tackle by Jayden Bogle, which VAR reviewed without issuing a red card. Spurs also avoided an early penalty when a handball claim against Mateus Fernandes was dismissed. Tottenham pushed for a late equalizer, but an offside call on Rodrigo Bentancur sealed the win for Leeds.
