Tottenham Hotspur defeated LEDS United with 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday, thanks to a goal and assistant of Mohammed Kudus who defeated the home team in Elland Road on Elland Road in more than a year.
Kudus created the opening goal for Mathys Tel for his fourth assist from the Premier League campaign before the signing of 55 million pounds ($ 74.13 million) scored his first goal for the club in a rain driven by rain.
The unbeaten home run of Leeds ended at 23 League matches when Spurs for the time being moved to second place on 14 points, a point behind Liverpool, which later visits Chelsea later on Saturday. Leeds is 12th with eight points on the way to the international break.
In a breathless first half, the sides exchanged in a physical collision, but it was leeds that started brighter, pressed high and opportunities.
Joe Rodon hit the pole and Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a golden chance before Spurs broke the impasse in the 23rd minute.
Tel was released by Kudus in the right channel and the shot of the 20-year-old Frenchman was deflected along Leeds Keeper Karl Darlow.
Leeds reacted with renewed intensity and was rewarded 11 minutes later with the equalizer.

The strike by Brenden Aaronson was saved by Guglielmo Vicario, but the Italian keeper could only parry with Noah Okafor, who scored up close.
While the rain came down, Spurs took the lead again when Gabriel Gudmundson lost sight of the ball and Kudus jumped.
The Ghanaese made a rising run to the box before he made a shot that took a deflection, so Darlow was wrong when Kudus was celebrated on trademark fashion by sitting on a chair.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke switched from formation to play three at the back so that more men could flow forward.
But his counterpart to Spurs Thomas Frank responded by making a defensive change to play a back -five.
Leeds is almost right in extra time with demonstrably the best chance of half when Joel Piroe made a shot at the half volley that looked destined for the bottom corner, but Vicario made a fingertip.
