Leeds endured a rocky month in October as they failed to register a single win, but a 1-0 success against Spurs will help to create momentum for the west Yorkshire club, says Whites defender Tarik Muharemovic.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina international proved critical in defence as the Whites beat Tottenham at Elland Road.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, the 23-year-old said: "I also understand everyone, boring games, to be honest, when it's only a draw. We as players also hate these games, but we always want to win.

"It's tough, like every game, but we know Tottenham were in good momentum with three wins.

"They came with an open chest ready to win another game. But obviously, for us, it was very important after a long time to get the three points again."

Muharemovic made a match-high 13 clearances in the win, with his 85 in total acting as the most of any player in the Premier League this season.

Leeds are now unbeaten across their last nine home Premier League games (W5 D4), their longest run at Elland Road in the top-flight since a 15-match stint between January and December in 2001.

"It doesn't matter who it is, what name it is. You see how many players we have with quality and it's just good to also see other players showing up and fighting for the team," Muharemovic added.

"It was very important to get these three points to get back up, and we can build from this."
