Who was that only Sahabi lead the prayers, in which prophet Muhammed(pbuh)
offered Salah behind him?
Ans: Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf (r.a)
There Abdur-Rahman was blessed with an honor which was not conferred on anyone till then. The time of Salat came and the Prophet, peace be on him, was not there at the time. The Muslims chose Abdur-Rahman as their imam. The first rakat of the Salat was almost completed when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, joined the worshippers and performed the Salat behind Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf. Could there be a greater honor conferred on anyone than to have been the imam of the most honored of God's creation, the imam of the Prophets, the imam of Muhammad(pbuh), the Messenger of God!
Urwa
b. al Mughira b. Shu'ba reported it on the authority of his father that he
said: The Messenger of Allah(Saw) lagged behind (in a journey) and I also
lagged behind along with him. After having relieved himself he said: Have you
any water with you? I brought to him a jar of water; he washed his palms, and
face, and when he tried to get his forearms out (he could not) for the sleeve
of the gown was tight. He, therefore, brought them out from under the gown and,
throwing it over his shoulders, he washed his forearm. He then wiped his
forelock and his turban and his socks. He then mounted and I also mounted (the
ride) and came to the people. They had begun the prayer with 'Abd ar-Rabmin b.
'Anf leading them and had completed a rak'a. When he perceived the presence of
the Messenger of Allah ( SAW) he began to retire. He (the
Holy Prophet) signed to him to continue and offered prayer along with them.
Then when he had pronounced the salutation, the Apostle ( SAW) got up and
I also got up with him, and we offered the rak'a which had been finished before
we came.

Abu Bakr(r,a) didn't lead the salah for prophet(pbuh), he went back and prophet(pbuh) lead the prayers.
Narrated
Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi: Allah's Apostle went to establish peace among Bani
`Amr bin `Auf. In the meantime the time of prayer was due and the Mu'adh-dhin
went to Abu Bakr and said, Will you lead the prayer, so that I may pronounce
the Iqama? Abu Bakr replied in the affirmative and led the prayer. Allah's
Apostle came while the people were still praying and he entered the rows of the
praying people till he stood in the (first row). The people clapped their
hands. Abu Bakr never glanced sideways in his prayer but when the people
continued clapping, Abu Bakr looked and saw Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle
beckoned him to stay at his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and thanked Allah
for that order of Allah's Apostle and then he retreated till he reached the
first row. Allah's Apostle went forward and led the prayer. When Allah's
Apostle finished the prayer, he said, O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from
staying when I ordered you to do so? Abu Bakr replied, How can Ibn Abi Quhafa
(Abu Bakr) dare to lead the prayer in the presence of Allah's Apostle? Then
Allah's Apostle said, Why did you clap so much? If something happens to anyone
during his prayer he should say Subhan Allah. If he says so he will be attended
to, for clapping is for women.
