Leeds vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
Relive all the action as Spurs dominate Leeds for a huge win
Harry Kane produced a masterclass as Tottenham gave their Champions League hopes a shot in the arm and put Leeds further into the relegation mire with a dominant 4-0 win in this Premier League clash.
Leeds fell apart early on in front of an expectant Elland Road crowd, conceding twice inside 15 minutes as goals from Matt Doherty and Dejan Kulusevski put Spurs in the driving seat.
Kane volleyed home a third in the 27th minute - making Leeds only the second side in Premier League history to concede three or more goals in five consecutive matches in the competition, after Sunderland in November 2005 - and Son Heung-min completed the rout late on following a brilliant Kane assist.
A midweek defeat to Burnley had left a frustrated Antonio Conte questioning his Tottenham future, although he later rowed back on his post-match comments and attributed them to passion in the heat of the moment after a disappointing loss.
This was the perfect bounce-back performance for Spurs, who leapfrogged Wolves into seventh in the table but Leeds have now conceded 14 goals in their last three matches and appear to be staring down the barrel of a return to the Championship unless they can quickly turn things round.

Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
84 mins: Save! Emerson Royal has the opportunity to run up the scoreline for Tottenham as he makes a run into the area and is perfectly found by Kane who nutmegs Koch with his pass into the box. Royal attempts to shift the ball around Meslier but the goalkeeper dives low and palms the ball away from the wingback.
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
81 mins: Chance! Leeds have wasted so many chances today. They break brilliantly after a pass down the right wing to Raphinha. He drives the ball up to the box before cutting inside and squaring the ball to Dan James. Rodrigo makes a run to the near post and draws away the centre-back leaving James space to take a touch and shoot but he guides his effort wide of the left-hand post. At the very least he has to hit the target!
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
78 mins: That’s a criminal miss from Dallas. He had a wide open goal and didn’t take the shot with his left foot, Leeds should have got one back.
Rodrigo fouls Harry Kane and picks up a yellow card before both managers make some changes. Jamie Shackleton is on for Junior Firpo in the Leeds change with Emerso Royal and Steven Bergwijn on in place of Ryan Sessegnon and Dejan Kulusevski for Spurs.
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
75 mins: Have has Stuart Dallas not scored?! Tottenham win a corner that gets cleared by Leeds who boot it long up the pitch sending Dallas flying forward on the counter attack. Hugo Lloris comes flying out to sweep the ball away but doesn’t get his pass around Dallas who blocks it and runs in behind the goalkeeper. He carries the ball into the box as Tottenham throw men back to defend. Dallas rolls the ball onto his right foot and shoots but he takes too long in possession and Ben Davies gets back to throw himself in front of the effort!
Man Utd vs Watford: Line-ups
Coming up at 3pm we’ll have the match action from Old Trafford as Manchester United take on Watford. Here’s a look at the two line-ups:
Man Utd XI:
Watford XI:
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
72 mins: Chance! Kane spins and slots another fine pass over to Doherty who evades a tackle from James and passes the ball out to Son on the right. Son waits for Doherty to make a run into the box before slotting it to the byline for him. He pulls it back into the middle of the area where Kulusevski is waiting. He hits a first time shot but can’t beat Stuart Dallas who jumps in front of the ball to make the block.
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
69 mins: In an almost carbon copy move to the goal he scored Dejan Kulusevski comes inside from the right, uses Harry Winks as a shield then hits a left-footed shot straight into the arms of Illan Meslier.
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
66 mins: Luke Ayling brings the ball into the Tottenham box from the right side and cuts it back to Rodrigo. He squares the ball across to Mateusz Klich who gets a nudge in the back from Dejan Kulusevski just as he shoots and his effort loops up gently for Hugo Lloris to claim. Leeds complain about the push and want a penalty or at least a free kick on the edge of the box but nothing comes from their appeals.
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
63 mins: Close! Tottenham have really stepped it up again. Harry Kane drops deep again to collect the ball and laces a cross-field pass over to Sessegnon on the left side of the box. The wingback brings the ball under control and fires a shot into the side-netting!
Leeds 0 - 3 Tottenham
60 mins: Save! Tottenham cut Leeds apart again with a fine turn in midfield from Kane who again plays Doherty into the area. He lets fly but his shot gets charged down by Meslier who blocks it with his chest. The rebound comes to Son but Koch leaps in front of the ball as he fires one towards goal as well. Last ditch defending from Leeds.
