Early on, the visitors took the lead just 10 minutes into the game when Sessegnon surged away and crossed for Doherty to score his first goal for Spurs.

And it got worse for the hosts five minutes later as Kulusevski doubled the advantage for the Antonio Conte’s side with a spectacular solo effort.

Harry Kane then volleyed in Hojbjerg’s exquisite chip over the top of the net to make it three wonderful goals for Spurs.

Leeds fought back and created chances to get back into the game, but it remained a troubling game for the hosts in the first half because the majority of Tottenham’s efforts came from fantastic positions.
