Swiss-Nigerian winger Noah Okafor's lone strike at Elland Road hands Leeds their first win since September and sinks Tottenham 1-0.
Noah Okafor has given Leeds United their moment. The Swiss-Nigerian winger scored the only goal of the game as Leeds beat Tottenham 1-0 at Elland Road, ending a miserable run in the Premier League.
It was a victory the home side badly needed. Leeds had gone five games without a win, and this result is their first since the 14th of September. For a team that had been searching for a spark, Okafor delivered it when it counted.
For Tottenham, it was a frustrating trip north. They could not find an answer to Okafor's strike and left Yorkshire with nothing, as Leeds protected their slim lead and saw out the result in front of a home crowd hungry for good news.
The win gives Leeds a timely boost in confidence after weeks of stalling, and puts Okafor firmly in the spotlight. With his Nigerian heritage and a decisive goal in one of the Premier League's toughest atmospheres, the winger has made a statement. Afroballers will be watching to see if he can turn one big night into a run of form.
