Leeds United beat visitors Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, with substitute Noah Okafor scoring 97 seconds after coming on. The win took Leeds to 14 points and eighth place, above Tottenham, who have 12 points.
The match was marked by controversy before the break, when Jayden Bogle avoided a sending-off after a VAR review of his challenge on Mathys Tel. Tel later had to leave the pitch because of an injury sustained in the challenge.
After the break, Leeds created several chances before Okafor scored in the 79th minute with a low shot from just outside the penalty area, after the ball reached him from a throw-in.
