What they're saying

"
Leeds forward Noah Okafor says there is "no better feeling" than winning under the lights at Elland Road. Daniel Farke's side blew Newcastle away 4-1 on Monday to move third in the Premier League after four games. Okafor - who stepped back from international duty with Switzerland last week, citing a breakdown in trust with head coach Murat Yakin - scored the Whites' fourth goal just before the hour mark with a fine strike as the ball dropped to him from a cleared corner.
