Leeds United 1–0 Tottenham: Okafor scores 97 seconds after coming on to end Spurs' winning run

Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1–0 at Elland Road on Saturday 7 November 2026 in the Premier League. Substitute Noah Okafor scored the only goal in the 79th minute, 97 seconds after coming on — the fastest goal by a substitute in the Premier League this season. The win was Leeds' first in six league games and lifts them above Tottenham into eighth place with 14 points; Tottenham, who have 12 points, saw their three-game winning run end and were aggrieved that Leeds' Jayden Bogle stayed on after a first-half VAR check on his challenge on Mathys Tel.

What happened

Leeds had gone five league games without a win and nearly five hours without a goal when Daniel Farke sent on Okafor and Harry Wilson together in the 77th minute; the two substitutes combined for the winner inside two minutes. Full-time banter: three straight wins, ended by a man who had been on the pitch for 97 seconds — Tottenham's run met the fastest substitute in the league this season.
