Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

That's all from us in the 2022-23 Premier League, we'll be back for more when next season rolls around! The summer still has plenty of world class football on offer though, and we'll see you very soon to experience it with us. Until then though, goodbye!

18:42
So, Leeds' failure to win, coupled with Everton's victory over Bournemouth, sends the Peacocks to the second tier alongside Leicester, who are also relegated despite beating West Ham. Spurs' 4-1 victory was also in vain though, as Aston Villa beating Brighton means they'll be playing in the Europa Conference League next season at Tottenham's expense. What a ride, and for both of these teams, the upcoming summer will see changes aplenty as the clubs look to get back to where they want to be.

18:42
In what could prove to be his final appearance for Tottenham, Kane's brace showed just how important he has been to this club all season. The England captain had three shots, all of which were on target, and created one chance from 14 final-third passes. Kane engaged in 12 duels, seven of which were dribbles, and also helped out defensively with three clearances from Leeds corners. He's a hero in north London, and whatever happens in the coming months, there's no denying that Harry Kane is one of the finest strikers in a generation.

18:37
It's all over, and so is Leeds United's time in the Premier League! Wins for both Everton and Leicester mean the Whites would have been relegated regardless of their result, but that second half performance gave them no chance whatsoever. Goals from Porro, Kane and Moura exposed Leeds' massive deficiencies at the back, and despite Harrison pulling one back, the hosts had no answer and head back down to the Championship just three years after a glorious promotion.

Five added minutes coming up, but the home fans will see them more as delaying the inevitable than a chance to snatch something late in this game.

Porro got the ball rolling for Spurs in the second half, but comes off now for Lucas Moura to make his final appearance for the Lilywhites.

Harrison has pulled up with cramp, and is brought off for Leeds late in the game. Wilfried Gnonto, who we surprisingly haven't seen earlier given his exploits this season, will replace the sole goalscorer for the Peacocks.

18:22
Rodrigo brings down Firpo's cross from the left, but Lenglet gets back to knock it behind for a corner as the clock ticks ever-closer to sealing Leeds' fate.

18:22
SAVED!!! Richarlison latches onto a long ball forward from Sanchez, and drills a low shot towards the goal which Robles gets down to save! Kane closes in looking for a hat-trick, but the Leeds goalkeeper dives on the ball to prevent him from doing so!

Leeds' impending relegation will be their their seventh top-flight relegation since their founding in 1919, and second from the Premier League after 2003-04.

SAVED!!! Richarlison is released into the Leeds box by Kane and engages Koch. He bursts clear of the defender and shoots low, but Robles can gather the ball after saving the Brazilian's effort with his knee!

OVER!!! A deep cross from the right is nodded down by Rodrigo, and is flicked up by Rutter, who turns and fires a volley over the bar in what would've been a very impressive goal by the striker!

18:10
As a top-flight side, Leeds have lost their final league match in just one of their last 15 campaigns, going down 1-0 at Chelsea in their 2003-04 relegation campaign, and their second of those losses will consign them to the same fate in 2022-23.

BLOCKED!!! Wober's cross from deep sails over everyone's heads, but Ayling can't strike the ball cleanly as it lands for him at the far post. He keeps the ball alive though and gets another chance to shoot from close range, but Lenglet gets in the way to block it behind for a corner!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:45
A strong run down the left from Kane is cut out by Kristensen, but Davies recovers the ball from the throw to cross into the area. Porro arrives at the far post, but can't direct it goalwards as he scoops the ball over the bar.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:45
Leeds have won just one of the 12 games they've trailed at half-time in this season, and that early strike from Porro makes the chances of doing so again an almost impossible ask for the hosts.

Spurs scored after 91 seconds in the first half, and that Porro strike comes just 79 seconds into the second, showing just how well they've been able to identify, expose and punish Leeds' fragility at the back.

17:37
A centre-back playing in midfield, Koch has been Leeds' most dangerous attacking threat so far in a disjointed first half, heading wide twice with an xG of 0.31. He's also passed 12 times in the final third, creating a big chance with one of his headed flick-ons. Koch has been impressive in winning seven of his 10 duels, five of which have come in the air, winning possession six times as Leeds fight for their lives on the final day.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:33
We're halfway through the final game of the season, and in a match Leeds have to win at all costs, they're 1-0 behind. Kane's opener in just the second minute makes Leeds' task of staying in the division all-but impossible, and Leicester's lead over West Ham isn't helping their cause either. The Whites have been limited to half-chances from Koch, Struijk, Forshaw, Wober and Rodrigo, but have looked very susceptible to Tottenham's counter-attacks, with Kane typically dangerous in and around the box. As it stands, Leeds are going down, and will need one hell of a second half performance to retain their Premier League status.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:26
HALF-TIME: LEEDS UNITED 0-1 TOTTENHAM.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:26
OVER!!! Kane is at the near post to head Harrison's corner half-clear, but the rebound falls to Kristensen and is volleyed over the top by the Leeds defender!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:22
WIDE!!! McKennie's long throw is flicked on at the near post by Koch, and Rodrigo meets it with another header which sails wide of the target!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:21
We'll play two additional minutes at Elland Road to close out a first half which has far from gone to plan for the home side.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:21
A Spurs corner won by Emerson is cleared up-field by the hosts, but Harrison is chasing the ball on his own and Spurs can easily recollect possession.

Rodrigo's teasing cross is whipped in from the right with McKennie making a late run into the box, but the USA midfielder can't quite get there and Forster gathers it!

17:19
A knock-down in the box by Koch bounces towards Rodrigo, but both he and McKennie swing at and miss the ball which allows Spurs to clear their lines!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:18
Another Leeds set-piece comes to nothing and Kuluveski looks to spark a counter-attack for Tottenham, but Kristensen gets goal-side of him and wins a free-kick after being barged over by the Swedish forward.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:14
OVER!! Forshaw's cross from the right is met centrally by Koch, whose header back across the face of goal is watched all the way by Forster, who allows it to bounce just wide of the post!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:14
CHANCE!!! What appears to be a shot from Bissouma looks well off-target, but takes a deflection to send the ball into Kane's path. However, a poor touch from the opening goalscorer allows Ayling to get back in cover, and he shields the ball which is smothered by Robles!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:11
OVER!!! Forhaw's corner for Leeds finds the head of Wober, and he sends a looping header towards the top corner which Forster tips over the crossbar!

Rodrigo nips in to beat Skipp to the ball on the edge of the area and it falls kindly for McKennie, whose low drive from 25 yards is dragged wide of Forster's right-hand post.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:09
Defeat for Tottenham would ensure no European football for them next season for the first time since 2009-10, but as things stand, that'll be the case regardless. With seventh-placed Aston Villa 2-0 up at Brighton in their corresponding final day match, Spurs could win this witha cricket score and still finish eighth.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:07
Spurs win a free-kick from 40 yards out, and Son clips a low ball into the Leeds box. Sanchez looks to volley it goalwards, but can't make a clean connection and the ball bounces through to Robles.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:04
A chance opens up for Leeds in the final third but McKennie's sloppy pass goes astray. Spurs race clear on the break through Son, whose cross from the left is put behind for a corner by Kristensen.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:04
Kane's opener after just 91 seconds means he's now scored in 26 different Premier League games this season, the outright most of any player in a 38-game campaign. He's equalled Andy Cole's overall record of 26 games scored in, achieved in 1993-94.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:02
BLOCKED!! Kulusevski shapes to shoot before teeing up Kane in the area, and his left-footed shot takes a nick off Cooper on its way through to Robles' gloves!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:00
Robles dawdles with the ball at his feet, and is only just able to get his long punt away with Kulusevski closing in at pace!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:59
Leeds' last win, against Nottingham Forest in early April, may have come after going 1-0 behind, but the Whites themselves have dropped 25 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, their most ever in a single campaign.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:57
BLOCKED!!! Koch's lofted pass into the box is headed away by Lenglet, but Forshaw meets the ball with a vicious strike. His powerful half-volley is heading goalwards, but Sanchez gets in the way to block and concede a corner!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:57
CHANCE!!! Leeds win the ball back, but Ayling undersells Struijk with a short pass in the box and Porro is almost on hand to intercept and score before Robles claims the loose ball!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:57
Leeds pile players forward for another McKennie throw-in, but are exposed at the back as the visitors break. Kulusevski beats Forshaw in midfield and plays a throughball into Son's path, but Kristensen gets back to cut it out and prevent a second Spurs goal!
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:53
Leeds fire in a cross from Harrison and throw from McKennie respectively down that left-hand side, but Rodrigo can't get onto the end of either in a crowded box and Spurs clear their lines with ease on both occasions.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:53
Kane barrels Ayling over on the near touchline, with the home crowd baying for a yellow card to be shown the Tottenham captain's way. The referee disagrees though, giving Leeds just the free-kick.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:50
Kane has now scored on the final day of the season in each of the last six Premier League campaigns. Overall, he's scored 10 goals on matchday 38, with no player netting more in the competition's history.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:47
Spurs concede another corner after Sanchez's clearance ricochets behind off Bissouma, but Leeds can't make anything of it and Kristensen intervenes to prevent another break by the visitors.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:47
Yellow Card Maximilian Wöber
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:46
Leeds have won just one of their last 10 Premier League games against Spurs, a 3-1 home win in May 2021 at the height of their Premier League success under Marcelo Bielsa. Two years on, and times certainly haven't changed for the better at Elland Road.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
16:43
BLOCKED!!! A long throw-in from McKennie drops to Struijk in Tottenham's box, but Bissouma gets in the way to block the defender's shot as it deflects over the bar!
