Leeds United suffered another mauling in a matter of days, this time at the hands of Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur.
The Whites were desperate for a response after a 6-0 hammering at Anfield during the week, but at the interval they found themselves 3-0 down again like they were at Liverpool.
Will Leeds be relegated?
Yes!
No!
Matt Doherty, Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane ensured the visitors had a comfortable cushion at the break. Spurs took their foot off the gas a little in the second half, but Heung-Min Son added a fourth before the full time whistle.
Part of BT Sport’s punditry team, Peter Crouch was far from impressed with what he saw from Leeds and in particular Jack Harrison over his role in allowing Matt Doherty to score the first goal, saying: “We all came here anticipating there’d be goals… It’s far, far too easy – Harrison’s just gone to sleep.”
The result is a disaster for Leeds whose confidence will have taken battering after battering on recent form. Harrison’s performance was summed up when Marcelo Bielsa hooked him at half time.
