Leeds United's return to the Premier League has come to a bitter end after a disappointing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on the final day of the season.
The match saw Harry Kane shine as he netted twice, dealing a devastating blow to Leeds' hopes of securing their top-flight status for another year.
The atmosphere was tense as both teams took to the field, with Leeds desperately needing a victory to avoid relegation. However, their dreams were shattered by a dominant Tottenham side.
Pedro Porro and Lucas Moura joined forces with Kane to drive Spurs' relentless attacking force, leaving Leeds struggling to contain their opponents.
Brazilian winger Moura also wished farewell to the Tottenham fans and players after the expiration of his contract.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur, under interim manager Ryan Mason, can take pride in their eighth-place finish despite changing manager twice this season.
Although narrowly missing out on a spot in the UEFA Conference League, the team displayed resilience and determination throughout the season.
