Tottenham defeated Leeds 2-1 at Elland Road on Saturday as Mohammed Kudus scored his first goal for the club to lift Spurs into second place in the Premier League. Noah Okafor equalized after Mathys Tel opened scoring for the visitors in a fast-paced first half before Kudus netted the winner with a deflected shot during heavy rain and wind from Storm Amy. The victory marked Leeds' first home league loss in over a year and moved Tottenham within one point of leaders Liverpool.
Tel scored his first goal of the season after struggling since his permanent transfer from Bayern Munich, while Kudus delivered the decisive strike after cutting inside and unleashing a powerful shot that deflected past goalkeeper Karl Darlow. Tottenham has maintained its lead in every match this season under manager Thomas Frank, avoiding the pattern from last season when the team dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side. Leeds fell to 12th place with eight points from seven matches.
