Mohammed Kudus has reacted after scoring his first goal in a Tottenham shirt, which proved to be the match-winner for the Lilywhites at Elland Road.
Tottenham Hotspur delivered another impressive away performance in the Premier League and emerged as deserved 2-1 winners.
Strikes from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus in either half ensured that Tottenham put an end to their two-match winless streak in the Premier League.
It ensured that the Lilywhites go into the international break high on confidence, and Kudus has explained why it was a huge result for the club.

Kudus had four assists to his name going into the game at Elland Road, and racked up his fifth in the first half when he laid on a through ball to Mathys Tel.
After Leeds had equalised, the Ghana international got on the scoresheet himself in the second period, with his deflected strike nestling into the bottom corner.
Speaking after the 2-1 win, Kudus said (via TNT Sports): “I’ve definitely been waiting [for my first Tottenham goal]. As an attacker, it boosts your confidence when you score.
“I want to give my teammate [Mathys Tel] some credit. I am a big fan of how he trains and how he has kept on going. We now go to represent our country and come back with the same focus. This is a big step in the right direction.”
Kudus finally gets rewarded for his impressive performances
According to Whoscored’s metrics, Kudus has been the best-performing winger across the Premier League so far this season.
Kudus is up there among the best in Europe when it comes to successful dribbles this season, but the winger has perhaps not received the credit his performance deserves.
The 25-year-old has been an inspired signing for Tottenham, and this goal will perhaps help bring his performances to the limelight in the media.
