Joao Pedro and a Cole Palmer penalty had the Blues 2-0 ahead before the hour mark, but then Leeds fought back to earn the point through goals from Lukas Nmecha and Okafor.
“I think it is an incredible feeling to get a point here,” Okafor said after the full-time whistle. “We knew it would be a difficult game.
“And when you are in an away game, 2-0 behind, you turn it around, it is just like a big hug to the whole team, to every player, also to the fans.
“They were from the first second behind our back. We see the amazing fans travel and support us with this energy. This helped us a lot. So, we did everything. And in the end, we got ourselves a point.
“For sure three points would be better but this is football and I was happy to help the team with the goal. Now, we just have to continue like this.
“It is a huge result when it comes to the battle to stay away from the relegation zone. Every game is intense, every game is difficult in this league and we take it game by game.
“We are in good shape and the mood in the team is very good, so we have to keep this up and go hard every day.”
