Leeds' three-season stay in the Premier League is over after a 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham confirmed the team's relegation on Sunday.
Harry Kane and Pedro Porro scored early in each half to put Spurs 2-0 ahead and, although Jack Harrison reduced the deficit, Kane struck a game-clinching second in what could be his last game for the London club.
Tottenham finished in eighth place and missed out on qualification for European competition next season. Leeds fans responded to Kane's 29th league goal of the season with raucous defiance, chanting "We're going down." Spurs continually threatened on the break without creating any more first-half scoring chances, but they soon remedied that. Just as they had done in the first half, Leeds conceded inside the opening two minutes of the second as Kane brilliantly set up Porro, who arrowed a low shot into the far corner from a narrow angle.
As Leeds fans showed their ire at their club's plight in the closing stages, Moura -- in his last appearance for the club -- completed the scoring after a mazy run from halfway before chants of "Sack the board" rang out through the home terraces.
