Marcelo Bielsa’s side have conceded 17 goals in four straight defeats
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min created Premier League history by creating the record for most goalscoring combinations in Tottenham's 4-0 romp at Leeds.
The pair combined for the 37th time when Kane made a brilliant assist in Son's late strike, overtaking Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
It was a fitting end to a comprehensive victory for Antonio Conte's side, who laid the foundation for victory with three goals in the opening 27 minutes as Matt Doherty, Dejan Kulusewski and Kane held onto the scoresheet.
Spurs produced an impressive response to Conte's midweek rant, where the Italian cast doubt on his future after a 1–0 loss at Burnley, suggesting he was "good enough to fix Spurs' problems". No, but now the focus is on Marcelo Bielsa's position.
Leeds have lost their last four games, scoring 17 goals in the process, and will look over their shoulders with trepidation and points to the teams below.
Spurs' victory may come too late to revive their top four hopes, but they are still in the race for European football.
There was always a reaction on the cards after Conte's comments and he took a 2–0 lead within the opening 15 minutes against a team devoid of defensive capability.
He opened the floodgates only in the ninth minute as Harry Winks freed Ryan Sessegon on the left and his cross was perfect to hit Doherty's far post.
The Irishman produced an emphatic finish to score his first goal for the club.
Spurs doubled their advantage six minutes later, thanks to some generous defense from Diego Llorente.
As Kulusevski entered the box, he saw that he had overrun the ball, but Llorente dropped it inexplicably, allowing the Sweden international to open fire at the close post.
Leeds needed an immediate response and almost got it as a loose ball hit Robin Koch but his effort hit the post and went safely.
And Spurs consolidated their grip on the game in the 27th minute with a brilliant goal from Kane.
Pierre-एmile Hozberg flew in a superb ball over the top to dismiss Kane, which ended in a medical away post in a way that few strikers in the Premier League would be able to do.
To their credit, Leeds offered some sort of response and pinned Spurs back, but they were unable to find a way out with Luke Ayling having a good chance wide.
But after scoring 19 goals in four and a half matches, he was dropped at half-time.
They could not gain the upper hand after the restart and Spurs had a chance to extend their lead, but Ilan Meslier came to Leeds' defense.
He negated Doherty and Son in quick succession and then twice halted Kulusevsky's efforts.
Stuart Dallas was guilty of a shocking omission in the 85th minute after running into the goal with trapped Hugo Lloris before Kane and Son went into the record books.
Son clearing by Kane was a brilliant pass and the South Korean made no mistake, cursing home in style to create history.
Rodrigo's free-kick shattered the post at the death, but another heavy defeat could not be avoided, bringing Leeds' total to 20 goals in five games.
