Leeds pulled off an incredible win against Spurs at Elland Road. Just when it looked like things were getting bleak, Farke’s men got a result.
The whole of last week was focused on how the club failed to turn their games into wins and how their approach to the game has been poor. Many criticized Farke’s tactics against Sunderland and Man United.
Losing to Bournemouth sparked a lot of conversations, like if the German is fit to lead this team this season.
But the team managed to put themselves together and get a big win over Spurs this weekend.

A late goal from Noah Okafor was enough to seal all three points, and the club will be pleased to enter the international break on a high.
Leeds suffered an unfortunate blow during the game, as Gabriel Gudmundsson went off injured in the middle of the game. Melvin Bard played the second half, with the Whites grinding out a win.
Farke then revealed after the game that the Swedish international will be sidelined for the international break after a problem with his hamstring.
“Gabi had problems with his hamstring, so it was not possible for him to keep going,” he said to the YEP.
“I always prefer to have Gabi available, don’t get me wrong. But I had a good feeling straight away because Melvin had his best week in training since he was together with us. He could feel that he has momentum, and I was not one moment concerned when I had to throw him in.
“Nevertheless, I hope that it’s not too bad with Gabi and hope to have him back on the other side of the international break, but also credit for Melvin. I think he also played his part in our really, really good second half.”
