  "account": "Daniel Farke praised Leeds United's second-half performance, which secured a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road. The manager noted that Leeds were the only team pushing to win after the break, with substitute Noah Okafor scoring the winning goal in the 79th minute. Farke described this as a terrific performance against an in-form Tottenham side. The Leeds boss acknowledged that the team had been dealing with a difficult period, missing key players in training and games, including Anton Stach, Noah Okafor, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin due to injuries. Farke emphasized the importance of unity, commitment, and tactical sharpness in overcoming Tottenham's processes and individual quality. The team managed to reduce Tottenham to very little, despite struggling in the final third and finishing passes. Gabriel Gudmundsson suffered an injury concern and was substituted at half-time due to a hamstring issue. Farke stated that he always preferred to have Gudmundsson available, but Melvin had his best week in training since joining Leeds, feeling a surge of momentum. Farke believes that playing like you train is crucial, and he hopes Gudmundsson will recover in time for the next match against Chelsea.",
