While Rutter received all the plaudits for his winner, Farke will have been delighted with the defensive display and resilience of his key men at the back, especially Tottenham loanee Joe Rodon, who,,,, with every passing week, is showing why a permanent Elland Road move may well be on the horizon.

Hay also shared in The Athletic that there is a strong executive relationship between Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and Leeds CEO Angus Kinnear, which helped in agreeing on a loan move.
Spurs’ initial demands of an eight-figure transfer fee were appeased by the loan deal, as any further improvement to Rodon’s game through first-team experience will prove beneficial to them if they want to sell him in the future.
On September 15, Spurs wanted a fee of over £10 million for his services before a compromise was reached.
