Leeds United returned to winning ways and finally banished the lunchtime kick-off curse with a 1-0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur - but how did we rate the performances?
Tottenham survived Leeds claims for a penalty as Mateus Fernandes attempted to chest the ball back to keeper Antonin Kinsky, VAR taking a look but judging that the midfielder had not committed a handball offence.
Neither goalkeeper was seriously troubled, albeit Whites stopper James Trafford made a few easy enough saves. Tottenham’s main threat though came from winger Mohammed Kudus who flashed a few dangerous crosses through the box.
But the real talking point of the first half concerned a Jayden Bogle foul on Mathys Tel who was eventually forced off injured, Bogle catching Tel on his heel and VAR checking for a possible red card but Bogle ultimately cleared after a nervy wait inside Elland Road.
Leeds, though, were hugely improved after the interval and Daniel Farke’s side bagged the only goal of the game with ten minutes left as two substitutes combined with Harry Wilson setting up Noah Okafor to blast home a clinical finish.
