Leeds 1-0 Tottenham: Noah Okafor's winner ends Whites' five-game winless run after Jayden Bogle escapes red card
Report as Leeds deservedly beat Tottenham 1-0 at Elland Road; substitute Noak Okafor strikes late winner; Leeds defender Jayden Bogle escaped a first-half red card for a tackle on Mathys Tel's Achilles; ex-Premier League referee Mike Dean believes Bogle's tackle was "100 per cent a red"
Saturday 7 November 2026 14:51, UK
Substitute Noah Okafor’s late winner gave Leeds a 1-0 home victory over Tottenham after Whites defender Jayden Bogle controversially escaped a first-half red card.
Leeds were deserved victors to earn their first win in six games as Spurs saw their three-game winning run ended - but were left fuming over the Bogle decision.
The Leeds right wing-back caught Mathys Tel on his Achilles, which was not punished by referee John Brooks.

A four-minute VAR review then ensued, but Tony Harrington opted against an on-field review, with the challenge only deemed "reckless" as Tel was forced off injured as a result of it.
Ex-Premier League referee Mike Dean believed Bogle's tackle was "100 per cent a red", with the incident coming just a week after Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off for a similar challenge in Spurs' win over the Eagles.
Leeds took full advantage of the decision, eventually making the breakthrough in the 79th minute through Okafor, who scored just 97 seconds after coming on, combining with fellow substitute Harry Wilson.
Goalkeeper James Trafford denied Jan Paul van Hecke in stoppage time during a rare moment of threat from Spurs, who were described as "poor" by their former captain Michael Dawson on Soccer Saturday.
The victory moves the home side above Spurs into eighth, while Roberto De Zerbi's team drop to 10th, dampening hopes that they have turned a corner.
