Information verified: Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 15:09 UTC (3:09 p.m. in Leeds, Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, UTC+00:00).

Full time: Leeds United 1–0 Tottenham Hotspur. Noah Okafor came off the bench and scored in the 79th minute to give Leeds a home victory at Elland Road in the 2026–27 Premier League’s Matchweek 10. The final score is confirmed by The Guardian’s full-time live report and Reuters’ match report. This replaces the earlier update in which the game was underway and the final result had not yet been verified.

The winner arrived soon after Okafor entered the game, following an attacking move involving fellow substitute Harry Wilson.

The victory ended a five-match Premier League winless run for Daniel Farke’s side and stopped Tottenham’s three-game league winning streak.

What was the final Leeds United vs. Tottenham Hotspur score?

The match finished Leeds United 1, Tottenham Hotspur 0. The teams were level at halftime, and Okafor broke the deadlock in the 79th minute. The live report’s full-time entry explicitly records the final whistle and the 1–0 result, while Reuters independently identifies Okafor as the scorer. There is no remaining uncertainty over the winner or final score at the stated verification time.

Okafor scored roughly 97 seconds after coming onto the field, according to Reuters. The sequence began with Melvin Bard’s throw-in; Wilson controlled the ball inside the penalty area and set up Okafor, whose low shot beat Tottenham goalkeeper Antonín Kinský. The goal was a notable return for Okafor, who had been named among Leeds’ substitutes after recovering sufficiently to rejoin the matchday squad.

How did Leeds beat Tottenham at Elland Road?

First half: scoreless, with a contentious VAR decision

The opening 45 minutes ended 0–0. One widely discussed incident involved Leeds defender Jayden Bogle’s challenge on Tottenham attacker Mathys Tel. The challenge was reviewed by VAR and did not result in a red card. Tel subsequently left the game. Contemporary reporting describes concern over the challenge, but the precise nature and duration of any injury should not be assumed from the on-field incident alone.

Second half: Leeds improve and Okafor delivers

Leeds increased the pressure after the interval and produced the stronger second-half chances. Tottenham goalkeeper Kinský made important saves, including one against Sean Longstaff, before the home side finally found a breakthrough. Farke’s substitutions were decisive: Wilson and Okafor combined in the move that settled the result. Tottenham tried to respond late, but Leeds preserved the clean sheet through the final whistle.

The difference between the sides was not an early tactical prediction but what happened after halftime. Leeds converted their increased attacking threat into a goal, while Tottenham failed to produce an equalizer. Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged the disappointing second-half performance in his postmatch reaction, as reported in the live coverage.

Which players started for Leeds United and Tottenham?

Both teams released their starting XIs before the match. The following selections are from the clubs’ own matchday announcements rather than predicted lineups. Substitute status at kickoff does not imply that a player stayed on the bench for the entire match.

Leeds United confirmed starting XI and substitutes

Starting XI: James Trafford (goalkeeper); Jayden Bogle; Gabriel Gudmundsson; Ethan Ampadu (captain); Tarik Muharemović; Sean Longstaff; Dominic Calvert-Lewin; Lukas Nmecha; Ao Tanaka; James Justin; Nico Elvedi.

Substitutes: Michael Zetterer (goalkeeper); Joe Rodon; Daniel James; Harry Wilson; Brenden Aaronson; Jaka Bijol; Noah Okafor; Melvin Bard; Ilia Gruev.

Leeds confirmed that Farke had made two starting changes and that Rodon and Okafor were available again after injuries. The inclusion of Okafor became especially important when he entered late and scored the game’s only goal. Full team information appears in Leeds United’s official lineup announcement.

Tottenham Hotspur confirmed starting XI and substitutes

Starting XI: Antonín Kinský (goalkeeper); Andy Robertson; Jan Paul van Hecke; Mathys Tel; Archie Gray; Sandro Tonali; Mateus Fernandes; Mohammed Kudus; Omar Marmoush; Pedro Porro; Micky van de Ven (captain).

Substitutes: Luca Gunter (goalkeeper); Marcos Senesi; Conor Gallagher; James Maddison; Dominic Solanke; Dejan Kulusevski; Rodrigo Bentancur; Ben Davies; Luca Williams-Barnett.

Tottenham made one change to the starting side that had beaten Crystal Palace 2–0, with Porro returning and Solanke among the substitutes. Bentancur was back in the matchday squad after a three-game suspension. These details come from Tottenham Hotspur’s confirmed team sheet.

What time did Leeds vs. Tottenham kick off, and where could fans watch?

The Premier League scheduled the game for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. in Leeds, GMT (UTC+00:00), equivalent to 12:30 UTC. Elland Road is in Leeds, England. Britain had already switched from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time in late October, so this fixture used GMT rather than BST.

The Premier League’s official November fixture amendments list Leeds versus Tottenham at 12:30 GMT on TNT Sports. Tottenham’s official viewing guide specifies TNT Sports 1 in the United Kingdom and describes club Match Centre text and audio commentary. The match has finished, so viewers looking to catch up should check official match highlights, replay availability, and any territorial restrictions rather than expecting a continuing live broadcast.

What does the result mean for the Premier League table?

Following the final whistle, Leeds had 14 points and moved into eighth place, ahead of Tottenham on 12 points, according to Reuters’ immediate postmatch report. Those standings are a snapshot after this fixture, not a guarantee of positions once other Matchweek 10 games have concluded. Tottenham’s previous three-game league winning run ended, while Leeds secured their first league victory in six matches.

Leeds can take encouragement from the response after halftime and the contribution of returning squad members. For Spurs, the immediate question is how to address the drop in second-half intensity and limited attacking output; that is an analysis of this match, not a claim about future results. Further assessments of Tel’s condition should await medical or club confirmation rather than speculation.

Under the Premier League’s published 2026–27 fixture list, the clubs’ next scheduled league games are Chelsea versus Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur versus Ipswich Town on Saturday, November 21, 2026. Fixture dates and broadcast details can be amended, so supporters should consult the competition or club channels before making plans.
