Leeds boost survival as Rutter denies Spurs, Okafor and Darlow star against Wolves | OneFootball

Leeds strengthened their survival bid, then watched relegation-threatened Tottenham concede late in a 2-2 draw with Brighton on Saturday evening as former Elland Road hero Georginio Rutter struck. His goal denied Spurs a first Premier League win of 2026 and left his former club eight points clear with five to play.

yorkshireevenpost.co.uk notes a mature Leeds display, with standout turns from Noah Okafor and Karl Darlow alongside Daniel Farke’s steady stewardship.

Okafor is in scorching form, with five goals and three assists across his last seven games for Leeds. He tormented Wolves in the first half, cushioning the ball to set up James Justin’s spectacular opener before finishing smartly himself. Clinical in a big game, he looks Leeds’ main man at a handy moment and a timely reminder to Switzerland of his World Cup claims.

Karl Darlow earned his clean sheet, producing a phenomenal second-half stop at 2-0 that kept Elland Road calm. It was a vital intervention.

Daniel Farke has back-to-back wins for the first time this season and another three points towards safety. The performance lacked sparkle at times, but it was mature and effective, the priority now is simply getting the job done.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are going down with a whimper. Relegation will soon be a mathematical certainty, and anger at the players at full-time was no surprise. Their plight is a cautionary tale for Premier League owners.
