Thomas Frank has quietly just done something for first time in his career in Tottenham win vs Leeds
Tottenham ended a tough week on a high to get their season back on track with victory away at Leeds United.
Tottenham won 2-1 away at Leeds to temporarily move up to second in the Premier League, with Mohammed Kudus striking the winner early in the second half.
Spurs had endured a difficult week before the win at Elland Road, drawing 1-1 with Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before coming back from 2-0 down to snatch a late point at Bodo/Glimt.
The win at Leeds was crucial in getting Tottenham back on the right track as they continue their quest for a Champions League finish this season, and Saturday’s win in Yorkshire has also seen Thomas Frank achieve something he has never done before.
Thomas Frank finally defeats Daniel Farke as Tottenham win at Leeds
Daniel Farke has notoriously been a tricky opponent for Frank during his time in management.
Farke never lost to Frank while the Dane was in charge of Brentford, with his only win against Norwich coming after the German had been sacked.
The victory at Elland Road saw that record finally come to an end, having gone five games without a victory against Farke previously.
| Date | Score |
| 27 October 2018 | 1-0 Norwich |
| 1 January 2019 | 1-1 Draw |
| 27 October 2020 | 1-1 Draw |
| 3 March 2021 | 1-1 Norwich |
| 6 November 2021 | 2-1 Norwich |
| 4 October 2025 | 2-1 Tottenham |
The win also saw Tottenham end Leeds’ incredible home record, which saw the Whites go 23 league games without defeat at Elland Road.
The previous team to win in Yorkshire was Burnley 385 days ago, where Scott Parker’s men were able to grind out a 1-0 victory at the start of last season.
Tottenham create more history with Mohammed Kudus goal
Kudus has been a revelation since he arrived in North London from rivals West Ham United in the summer in a £55million deal.
Many were critical of the move, given how poor the Ghanaian was at the London Stadium, but a change of environment has reignited the winger.
Kudus scored his first goal for Tottenham at Elland Road, and in doing so added himself in Spurs history as he became the first Ghanaian player to score for the club.
It also increased the number of nationalities that have scored a goal for the Lilywhites to 45, which is only bettered by Fulham with 47.
