Tottenham have steamrolled Leeds in a first-half battering at Elland Road, racing into a 3-0 lead despite having less of the ball and just 4 shots on target.
Matt Doherty popped up with the opening goal after 10 minutes, before Dejan Kulusevski doubled their lead for an under fire Antonio Conte.

A perfectly weighted pass from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg allowed Harry Kane to steer home a third goal, and leave Leeds staring down the barrel of yet another defeat, as they slide towards relegation.
It will come as the perfect tonic to Antonio Conte too, who was left considering his future following a 1-0 defeat to Burnley, Tottenham’s fourth in five games. And one man took the plaudits in the first half.
Kulusevski takes fan adoration
The man in question is Juventus loanee Dejan Kulusevski, who provided the second goal for his side with a lovely left-footed finish.
And the plaudits predictably rolled in, with many Tottenham fans realising just how much of a gem they may have on their hands.
Kulusevski is such a good signing man wtf

Juventus choosing to let Kulusevski go on loan looking more and more baffling.

Kulusevski really has that Robben/Mahrez vibe about him.

Spurs should go ahead and excercise the purchase option on Kulusevski now. What a stud. #COYS
