Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur player ratings: Stuart Dallas 9.5, Patrick Bamford 8; Gareth Bale 5, Harry Kane 6

Spurs' hopes of qualifying for Champions League hanging by thread after comprehensive 3-1 defeat at Elland Road

• 

  LEEDS RATINGS: Illan Meslier - 8: Not called upon too often, given Leeds’ dominance, but responded expertly when he was, saving a deflected Aurier shot and a close-range effort from Lamela. AP

• 

  Luke Ayling - 7: Rarely looked fussed by Tottenham’s vaunted forward line, as part of a commendable defensive display by the home side. PA

• 

  Diego Llorente - 7: Sharp early on to swamp Son, and then head away a dangerous Kane cross, but allowed Alli’s pass to get through him for the Spurs goal. AP

• 

  Pascal Struijk - 8: Might have scored early on but he lashed his swiveled volley over the bar. That would have been due reward for a fine shift against Kane. Getty

• 

  Ezgjan Alioski - 8: Sumptuous link up play with Harrison led to him laying on a goal for Bamford. Tenacious in defence when required, and ever tireless when joining the attack. Getty

• 

  Robin Koch - 6: Struggled to keep pace with an improved Alli when he was on the field, and was booked for a cynical trip on Son – although that did help his side as Spurs were breaking. Getty

• 

  Stuart Dallas - 9.5: Everywhere. Like always. Scored. Played an appetizing cross that Roberts might have scored from. Had a key role in Bamford’s goal. Saw another shot well saved by Lloris. High class. AFP

• 

  Tyler Roberts - 6: Lacked the pizazz of some of the displays in his recent run of form. The fact he was subbed shortly after limply giving away possession capped his afternoon. AP

• 

  Mateusz Klich - 7: Denied a goal by one of Lloris’ many fine saves. He made a clever contribution to the chance from which Harrison should have settled it. Getty

• 

  Jack Harrison - 8: An inspired display as he rinsed Aurier at every opportunity. Set up the first goal, and played the pass before the assist for the second. Undermined slightly by wayward finishing. Getty

• 

  Patrick Bamford - 8: The watching England manager Gareth Southgate cannot fail to have been impressed. Got the goal his performance merited. PA

• 

  SUBS: Raphina - (On for Roberts 58') 7: Looked straight back up to speed following injury, especially when he broke and coolly found fellow sub Rodrigo for the third goal. AP

• 

  Rodrigo - (On for Bamford 79') N/A: He was not given much time to impress. All he needed was one touch, as he settled the game with a crisp finish for Leeds’ third. EPA Kalvin Phillips - (On for Klich 90') N/A: Could afford a broad grin as he entered the fray, given that time was nearly up and his side were already home and hosed. EPA

• 

  SPURS RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 8: Made a strong early save to thwart Bamford, only to be harpooned by his full backs not long after as Leeds went ahead. Kept his side in it with a number of fine saves. PA

• 

  Serge Aurier – 4: The fact he had a nightmare is forgivable. It can happen to anyone. Trying fancy flicks in dangerous areas while mid-mare is less so. EPA

• 

  Toby Alderweireld – 6: Not as culpable as others for Tottenham’s malaise at the back, and showed signs of reprising his old partnership with Alli with his long-range passing. Reuters

• 

  Eric Dier – 5: Failed twice when Bamford scored. First when his limp header did not clear the lines, then by failing to track the striker’s run. Getty

• 

  Sergio Reguilon – 4: If Aurier was bad, the full back on the other flank was not much better. His loose cross-field pass set the tone early on, and he was only spared an own goal by Lloris’ firefighting. Getty

• 

  Giovani Lo Celso – 5: A slow burner of a game for the Argentine midfielder, who was subbed just as he appeared to be getting into his stride. Reuters

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 5: Fought the Leeds waves gamely, as is typical, but he lacked polish when Spurs could have done with better going forward. AFP

• 

  Dele Alli – 7: His exquisite through ball to set up Son felt like the start of his revival. He doubled down on that with a similarly neat ball straight after that found Kane millimetres offside. Getty

• 

  Gareth Bale – 5: After the excellence of his hat-trick last time out, he was back to the disinterested figure that was typical of the Jose Mourinho era. PA

• 

  Son Heung-min – 7: A characteristically composed finish drew Spurs level in the first half, and he battled as pluckily as any of the players in green. AP

• 

  Harry Kane – 6: Well marshalled by Struijk, but he still had his chances. Had the ball in the net twice – but was offside both times – and struck the bar, too. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Erik Lamela – (On for Alli 67') NA. Tried to bring some fresh impetus to the away team’s effort, and saw a shot well saved by Meslier. AFP

• 

  Lucas Moura – (On for Bale 67') NA. Had a storied, if short, spell on the field. Booked as soon as he was on, smashed his face into the ground after being tripped, and made an incisive break - that eventually led to Leeds’ third goal. Tanguy Ndombele – (On for Lo Celso 80') NA. Will have been frustrated to have missed out on a starting berth again, and showed glimpses of class in his late appearance. Reuters

Leeds United put on a Bielsa-ball masterclass in a dominant 3-1 win that punctured Tottenham Hotspur's outside chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

Stuart Dallas underpinned a fine personal display as he opened the scoring for the home side at Elland Road.

Spurs did hit back with a goal from Son Heung-min against the run of play, but Leeds were good value for their win thereafter.

Patrick Bamford restored their lead before the break, and substitute Rodrigo settled the game for Marcelo Bielsa’s side with six minutes to go.
