Elland Road finally got the win it had been waiting for.

Substitute Noah Okafor scored in the 79th minute just 97 seconds after coming on as Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Saturday for a first victory in six Premier League matches.

Okafor combined with fellow substitute Harry Wilson for the only goal. Leeds moved above Spurs into eighth while Roberto De Zerbi's side dropped to 10th and saw a three-game winning run end.

The Bogle flashpoint

Tottenham was furious after Jayden Bogle's first-half challenge on Mathys Tel. Bogle caught Tel on the Achilles and a four-minute VAR check ended without an on-field review. Referee John Brooks booked no card.

Tel was forced off injured. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean called the tackle "100 per cent a red" on television analysis while Leeds manager Daniel Farke defended Bogle as "probably the softest player in the whole league."

Farke's butterfly and De Zerbi's frustration

"I always call him my butterfly," Farke said of Bogle. "Never out of bad intention."

De Zerbi was booked for arguing a second-half caution on Pedro Porro and will serve a one-game touchline ban when Tottenham hosts Ipswich on Nov. 21 after the international break. Goalkeeper James Trafford denied Jan Paul van Hecke in stoppage time to preserve the clean sheet.

Leeds was the better side after halftime and earned what Farke called a crucial three points before the break.
