Patrick Bamford's 15th Premier League goal of the season has helped Leeds United to a 3-1 win over Tottenham, all but ending their opponents' tenuous Champions League hopes.

Leeds laid siege to their visitors in typical fashion and led through Stuart Dallas' eighth league goal of the campaign in the 13th minute on Saturday.

Son Heung Min levelled and Harry Kane had a goal disallowed for offside before Bamford again pressed his claims for joining the England captain in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad as he scored three minutes before the break.

Kane hit the crossbar with a free-kick inside the final 20 minutes at Elland Road but, chasing the game, left Tottenham increasingly vulnerable on the break and Rodrigo completed the misery for Ryan Mason's side at Elland Road.
