Okafor scored 97 seconds after coming on as Leeds earned their first league win since September and climbed to eighth, officials said.
On Saturday, Leeds United defender Jayden Bogle escaped a red card after VAR reviewed his 34th-minute challenge on Tottenham forward Mathys Tel at Elland Road. Officials determined the tackle was reckless rather than serious foul play.
The collision left Tel writhing in pain after Bogle's boot caught his ankle with his studs. The forward attempted to play through the discomfort for five minutes before signaling to the bench for a substitution.
