Tottenham blew Leeds United away with a 4-0 victory in their Premier League game at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, thanks to an excellent first half performance.
Spurs caught the hosts on the break on several occasions, resulting in a one-sided match.
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.
4 – Today is the fourth time that Leeds have gone into half-time of a Premier League match three goals behind this season; only Watford in 2016-17 (five times) have ever done so more in a single season in the competition. Pennines. pic.twitter.com/dgeKSFl8uf

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.
In the second half, Tottenham continued to slice Leeds open. Both teams squandered numerous opportunities, but the game was finally settled late in the second half when Son scored a one-on-one after Kane’s wonderful through ball to make it 4-0.
Antonio Conte and his men ran off with three goals and all three points.
