Tottenham's hopes of finishing the season inside the Premier League's top four took a huge blow as they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Leeds United
Spurs' interim boss Ryan Mason had targeted four wins to finish the season and with Leicester's surprise defeat at Newcastle on Friday, the door had just been opened for Spurs in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League
However, they suffered an early set back when Stuart Dallas gave the hosts the lead in the 13th minute
Tottenham cancelled out Dallas' opener to draw level in the 25th minute through Heung-Min Son, but Leeds regained the lead just before half-time as Patrick Bamford converted Ezgjan Alioski's cut-back from close range
Spurs, who saw two Harry Kane goals correctly ruled out for offside, had chances in the second half but Illan Meslier kept out efforts from Serge Aurier and Giovani Lo Celso before substitute Rodrigo added Leeds' third to seal all three points
Defeat is a huge blow for Spurs as they look to seal European football for next season
 They stay five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, having played a game more than most of the teams around them and with just three games remaining of their season
 Meanwhile, the win sees Leeds move above Aston Villa and Arsenal into the top half of the Premier League
The two sides set a ferocious early pace, which continued throughout the first half, and it was Leeds that started the brighter
They started with typical Leeds intensity and they took full advantage in the 13th minute
 Jack Harrison's cross caused all sorts of problems in the Spurs defence as Sergio Reguilon turned the ball towards his own net
 Hugo Lloris had to be alert to keep it out but the rebound dropped to Dallas, who fired the ball into the roof of the net
Spurs, who were playing some good stuff of their own, responded well and they were back on level terms in the 25th minute when Dele Alli's clever through ball picked out Son, who swept the ball past Illan Meslier
The visitors thought they had taken the lead six minutes later when Harry Kane latched onto another Alli pass, but the England striker, who finished brilliant, was flagged offside and a VAR check confirmed it was a close decision, but the right one
Leeds regained the lead moments before half-time, and they capitalised on an excellent advantage played by referee Michael Oliver as Ezgjan Alioski's cut-back picked out Bamford who tapped home from close range for his 15th goal of the season
Leeds resumed on the front foot at the start of the second half, but Tottenham continued to threaten on the counter
 Kane had another effort ruled out - this time he was clearly offside - and then fired off target before Son crashed a shot into the side-netting
Alioski's excellent run and cross just evaded Bamford, and Mateusz Klich was denied by Lloris, while Meslier produced a superb save to keep out Serge Aurier's near-post drive
 Kane's free-kick then clipped the top of the crossbar, but back stormed Leeds as Toby Alderweireld's brilliant last-ditch block thwarted Klich
Leeds then made sure of all three points with six minutes remaining when Raphinha's cross was met by a thumping finish from fellow substitute Rodrigo
It was nothing more than Leeds deserved, and they are the first side to remain unbeaten at home in a Premier League season against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Spurs since West Ham in 2015-16
Leeds boss : "For a while now we hope to play on an equal term with an important opponent
 In some ways today we achieved this
"The conclusion is linked to the enthusiasm of the players
 The rebelliousness to try and look like the teams that are better than us
"Every time a professional football team plays, they are obliged to give a performance to those watching and follow them
 They are obliged to give their best version possible
 We will try for this
"Interim Spurs boss: "We had moments, but we weren't clinical enough at times
 They started bright but we got back
 At 1-1 there was an offside decision and I'm shocked
 I don't think it was right
 People don't understand momentum in football and how those decisions can affect you
"I've seen it back
 My first look, second look and 10th look tell me that it's not offside
 At 1-1 it's a big moment
 In my opinion they got that one wrong
"Leeds know what they're doing, they play a certain way and it took us a while to get into the game
 In the second half we were the better team
 The moments we had; you have to take them in these games
"Today was a massive game for us, to lose it hurts
 It's difficult to win in the Premier League but we've got to have our full attention on next week now
"The winger was excellent for Leeds
He held his width brilliantly and gave Serge Aurier a torrid time all afternoon
His cross for Leeds' first goal was superb and he was unlucky not to get himself on the scoresheet, finding Hugo Lloris in good form
