Okafor shines as Leeds win and Rutter leaves Spurs reeling | OneFootball

Leeds strengthened their position with a composed home win over Wolves, then watched Tottenham drop points as Brighton earned a late 2-2 draw through ex-Leeds forward Georginio Rutter, leaving Daniel Farke’s side eight clear of Spurs with five games remaining.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the outcome left relegation-threatened Spurs under greater pressure.

Noah Okafor continued his prolific run, with five goals and three assists in his last seven outings. He set up James Justin for a spectacular opener and then finished smartly himself. Clinical in a big game, he is emerging as Leeds’ main man and has offered Switzerland a timely World Cup reminder.

Karl Darlow earned his clean sheet, producing a phenomenal second-half save at 2-0 to keep Wolves out. It was a vital stop.

Farke’s men delivered back-to-back wins for the first time this season. At this stage, getting the job done matters most.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be a mathematical certainty for relegation before long, and their Elland Road display gave supporters little pride. Anger was directed at the players at full-time, a cautionary tale for Premier League owners.

Spurs had hoped for a Leeds slip and for a response of their own against Brighton, yet Rutter’s late leveller, which denied Tottenham a first Premier League win of 2026, dashed those hopes.
