  "account": "Leeds United secured a much-needed win in the Premier League, ending a five-match losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Substitute Noah Okafor scored the decisive goal in the 79th minute, ending Tottenham's three-match winning streak. The match was goalless at halftime, with both teams struggling to find a breakthrough. Okafor broke the deadlock after Harry Wilson assisted from a throw-in, setting up the Swiss forward to score. The goal was initially reviewed by a Video Assistant Referee for a potential handball by Leeds' goalkeeper, but the referee allowed it to stand. Tottenham, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, failed to find an equalizer despite several attempts. The victory marks Leeds' first win since September, when they defeated Newcastle United 4-1, providing a significant boost ahead of the November international break.",
