Elland Road - The Fortress is No More

Elland Road - The Fortress is No More

Leeds United's home defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur has ended an incredible unbeaten run at Elland Road.

The Whites' last league loss at home came back in September 2024 - one-nil to Burnley.

Since then, Daniel Farke's side have embarked on a breath-taking 23-game unbeaten streak on home turf - winning 18 games and drawing five during their time in both the EFL Championship and the Premier League.

Today was Leeds United’s first home defeat since September of last year.

Spurs also broke their streak of failing to win 7 consecutive matches that took place just before an international break.

It was a hotly fought contest in Yorkshire on Saturday lunchtime, but it was goals from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus that sunk them, despite an almost remarkable goal from Noah Okafor in between, reminiscent of Darren Bent's freak "beach ball goal" back in 2009.

A number of superb defensive displays from Farke's men have kept this remarkable run intact until now. However, it was always going to end once they encountered some of England's elite.

In other news, Spurs' victory has broken a record of their own as they have finally won a game before an international break.
