Leeds were finally put out of their misery, with little more than a wimper, after Spurs cruised to a 4-1 victory at Elland Road. After a pitiful campaign, it was expected that Allardyce's overpaid prima-donnas from LS11 would at least give their fans the sending off party they deserved; after all, they were playing against a Tottenham team with five losses from their previous seven games. Some hope!
In a last desperate bid for survival, big Sam lined up an impenetrable five man defence, which proved as useful as a chocolate teapot, as Harry Kane fired the visitors ahead after just 90 seconds; leaving the players shell shocked and their fans exasperated. Leeds had several opportunities to equalise, but as usual squandered their chances.
There was more than a hint of daja vu, when Spurs doubled their lead two minutes into the second half. Kane sliced open the Leeds defence, threading a ball, deep within the Leeds penalty area, gratefully received by Porro. Without much support, the Spaniard took a pot shot from a wide acute angle, but still managed to find the back of the net.
This was far more than the fans could handle; large sections of the crowd finally (yet six months too late) turned on their fallen stars with renditions of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt'. Jack Harrison gave Leeds something to cheer about two thirds into the game, only for Kane to restore their two goal cushion two minutes later.
Lucas Moura gave the travelling fans a memorable send off with a solo effort in the dying moments of the game, whilst the Leeds players pondered on where they'll be playing next season.
