'Chilled and calm' Leeds United star in Premier League Team of the Week alongside Sunderland, Everton & Liverpool men

One Leeds United player has been rewarded for his efforts during Saturday’s 1-0 win vs Tottenham.

Leeds United produced a brilliant performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and one star has been rewarded with a place in Troy Deeney’s Team of the Week. The Whites won 1-0 to climb into the top-half courtesy of substitute Noah Okafor's second-half finish, the winger controlling a loose ball in the box and finishing smartly.

That goal came following a sustained period of pressure from Leeds, who after an even first-half came flying out of the blocks after the break. Daniel Farke’s side created multiple chances before Okafor’s finish while also reducing visitors Tottenham to virtually nothing at the other end.

Okafor grabbed the headlines with his winner but it was a defensive teammate who earned recognition as Deeney put together his Team of the Week for BBC Sport. See which Leeds star made the cut, joining top performers from Everton, Liverpool, Sunderland and elsewhere.

Deeney said of the Leeds defender: "Many times he got caught one v one against Spurs but showed his ability to be chilled and calm under pressure and make his tackle. Very unassuming."
