Leeds duo Daniel Farke and Noah Okafor make Premier League Team of the Week after Old Trafford win

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke and match-winner Noah Okafor have been included in Troy Deeney’s Premier League Team of the Week after a vital 2-1 victory at Manchester United on Monday night, which lifted the Whites six points clear of the relegation zone.

In his BBC column, Deeney selected the pair. Okafor struck twice at Old Trafford, with Leeds seeing off their 10-man hosts.

Deeney praised Okafor’s tireless work on the left and his two goals, suggesting the winger’s brace might have effectively secured Leeds’ top-flight status.

He also lauded Farke, calling the result unbelievable given West Ham won and Forest picked up a result, and felt the manager’s celebrations underlined the size of the moment.

Farke’s side were judged good value for the points, and the recognition capped a memorable night for both club and coach.
