  "account": "Leeds United ended a five-game winless streak in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Substitute Noah Okafor scored the only goal in the 79th minute, ending Tottenham's three-match winning streak. The match was goalless at halftime, with both teams struggling to break through. Okafor capitalized on a throw-in set-up by Harry Wilson to score the decisive goal. The goal was confirmed by a Video Assistant Referee after a review of a potential handball. Leeds, who had not won a league match since September, secured their first victory since the survival boost of a 3-1 win against Burnley. Tottenham, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, could not find an equalizer despite several opportunities, including a wide effort by Conor Gallagher and a saved header by Jan Paul van Hecke.",
