Patrick Bamford scored in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate as Tottenham’s defeat effectively condemned Harry Kane to a season without Champions League football if he stays at the London club.
Though Spurs interim manager Ryan Mason named all his attacking big-hitters, they were distinctly second best at a sodden Elland Road.
Stuart Dallas took advantage of shocking defending to put Leeds ahead and though Son Heung-Min levelled with the visitors first shot on target, Bamford restored his side’s advantage before half-time with substitute Rodrigo wrapping up the points late on.
