Noah Okafor stunned by what he saw Leeds fans do vs Tottenham – ‘Unbelievable’
Leeds were disappointed not to pick up any points against Tottenham on Saturday evening.
Daniel Farke‘s side dominated Spurs in the possession department, but Thomas Frank’s team had too much quality in the end.
Farke has since urged his side to take more chances, as Leeds will have felt hard done by the officiating in the game.
Noah Okafor scored again for Leeds and looks like one of the potential signings of the summer since arriving from AC Milan, as he’s now commented on the game.
Noah Okafor praises Leeds fans for electric Elland Road atmosphere vs Tottenham
Elland Road was once again in full voice against Tottenham, showing that if Leeds are to stay up, the fans will have a vital role to play.
Another man who will play a huge role is Okafor. Farke has demanded more from Okafor despite his impressive start, as the Leeds boss knows how good the Swiss international can be if he is on top of his game.
- Okafor created one big chance in the game
- He scored the equaliser for Leeds in the first half
- The forward only missed a single pass the entire game
Okafor shared a photo on his Instagram of him celebrating his goal, as the caption read: “First at Elland Road, unbelievable support from our fans. Proud of this team! We keep going.”
The versatile forward was in the right place at the right time to score his goal against Tottenham, as they all count the same.
Okafor is Leeds’ first player to reach two goals in the Premier League this season, as he is already emerging as a favourite to be the club’s top scorer this campaign.
Oakafor could be Leeds’ relegation saviour
The summer transfer window was underwhelming for Leeds, as fans had to watch fellow relegation rivals Sunderland spend over £150million.
Okafor was seen as a gamble, but now it’s looking like one that paid off.
| Played (starts) | Goals | Shots per game | Successful dribbles per game | Average rating |
| 5 (4) | 2 | 1.2 | 2.2 | 7.06 |
The winger is direct and always looking to create and get shots off. Okafor offers something that others do not in this Leeds team, and despite his goal against Tottenham being an ‘easy’ one, it still showed his desire to score.
Leeds currently sit 13th in the Premier League, a start that could have been much worse, as Okafor has given hope to fans.
