Leeds relegated from Premier League after 4-1 home defeat by Spurs | Football News – Times of India
After three seasons in the top flight, Leeds will now make their return to the Championship. The loss was a bitter conclusion to their Premier League campaign.
Pedro Porro and Lucas Moura also found the net for Tottenham, who finished in eighth place, narrowly missing out on securing a spot in the UEFA Conference League. Jack Harrison managed to score a consolation goal for Leeds, but it wasn’t enough to salvage their Premier League status.
The defeat marks the end of Leeds United’s journey in the 2022-2023 Premier League season, and they will now regroup and prepare for the challenges ahead in the Championship.
Kane silenced the home fans in the second minute when Spurs worked the ball down the right and into the area with Son Heung-Min finding the England striker unmarked just outside the six-yard box and he made no mistake.
The second half had barely kicked off before Kane cleverly chipped the ball to himself over a defender to tee up Porro who was lurking unmarked at the corner of the box to lash home from a tight angle.
Harrison pulled one back to inject some life into the crowd in the 67th minute, but Kane restored Tottenham’s two-goal cushion two minutes later.
Moura, playing his last game for Spurs, added the fourth deep into added time after carrying the ball nearly half the length of the pitch around several defenders.
Leeds’ defeat ends a roller-coaster season under four different managers with just two victories on the road.
Allardyce was brought into the club in early May to right the ship but picked up just one point in four games.
