Leeds squandered a fine chance to go ahead in the third
minute as Pascal Struijk flashed a free header wide from a Stuart Dallas
free-kick.
Spurs then went ahead seven minutes later as Harry Winks
played in Ryan Sessegnon whose cross from the right was tucked home by Matt
Doherty.
Tottenham doubled their lead just five minutes later as
Dejan Kulusevski picked up the ball to the right hand side of the Whites box
and weaved his way past several men before firing a low finish past Illan
Meslier.
Leeds were then denied by the frame of the goal as Robin
Koch's shot from inside the area bounced back off the post and Spurs bagged a
third in the 27th minute when Harry Kane converted a cross from Pierre-Emile
Højbjerg at a tight angle.
Spurs created more chances after the break but Leeds
squandered a glorious chance to pull a goal back in the 76th minute when Stuart
Dallas beat Hugo Lloris as he looked to clear but saw his shot cleared off the
line by Ben Davies.
There was more pain for United in the 84th minute as Kane
played in Son Heung-min who made no mistake and rifled home past Meslier and
United were denied by the frame of the goal for a second time in the 90th
minute as Raphinha's free-kick crashed back off the post.
