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.

The teams came together to deliver a message before kick off at Old Trafford:
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min make PL history as Tottenham add to Leeds woes
Earlier today Harry Kane and Son Heung-min created Premier League history by setting the record for the most goal combinations in Tottenham’s 4-0 romp at Leeds.
The pair combined for the 37th time when Kane superbly assisted Son’s late strike, moving clear of Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
It was a fitting end to a comprehensive win for Antonio Conte’s side, who laid the foundation for the win with three goals in the opening 27 minutes as Matt Doherty, Dejan Kulusevski and Kane got on the scoresheet.
