Mohammed Kudus scored his first Tottenham goal to keep Thomas Frank’s team riding high.
Kudus’ second-half strike from the edge of the box secured a 2-1 win at Leeds to move Spurs up to third.
Spurs were unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and have lost just once in the league under Frank, who took charge in the summer.
Kudus was one of Frank’s big signings in the offseason — joining from West Ham — and the forward produced the decisive moment at Elland Road where he cut in from the right and fired low past Karl Darlow in the 57th minute.
Spurs led through Mathys Tel, whose deflected shot rocketed into the top corner.
Leeds, which was unbeaten at home since February, equalized through Noah Okafor from close range in the 34th.
