Okafor seals Leeds win but Tottenham complain to Pro Ref over Bogle tackle on Tel
Match of the Day's Steph Houghton and Danny Murphy assess whether a challenge from Leeds United's Jayden Bogle on Tottenham's Mathys Tel was worthy of a red card.
Key points
- It is almost one year to the day when the Leeds manager, Daniel Farke, produced the tactical overhaul many observers believe saved his job.
- To suggest Farke was under similar pressure going into this game would be a stretch, but without a win in five Premier League games it was not unreasonable to suggest the Elland Road natives were getting slightly restless.
- Defeat going into the international break would have firmly extinguished what had been a positive start, with eight points from the first four.
Tottenham are set to submit a formal complaint about the decision not to send off Jayden Bogle for his challenge on Mathys Tel during the defeat by Leeds.
That day, Farke abandoned his trusted 4-3-3 when Leeds were 2-0 down at Manchester City and although they lost the game, the 3-5-2 he reverted to was the bedrock for the success that followed.
