MATCH FACTS LEEDS UNITED:

-

■■Tottenham have won seven of their last nine Premier League matches against Leeds United (D1 L1), with this their first league victory at Elland Road since January 2004.

Leeds have lost four consecutiv­e top-flight games for the first time since December 2003-February 2004 under Eddie Gray (a run of six defeats). ■■Each of Tottenham’s last four Prem wins have come away (at Watford, Leicester, Man City & Leeds), their longest run since May to September 2017 (six consecutiv­e wins coming on the road).

Marcelo Bielsa’s strugglers have now conceded 20 Prem goals this February – the most a side has ever shipped in a single calendar month in the competitio­n – and most in a month by a top-flight side overall since Newcastle in April 1986 (21).

■■Leeds became only the second side in Prem history to concede three or more goals in five consecutiv­e matches – after Sunderland in November 2005.

Spurs’ dynamic duo Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son combined for their

37th Prem goal – overtaking Chelsea’s Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard (36) as the duo who have assisted one another for the most goals in the competitio­n’s history.

■■Harry Kane has scored 11 goals in his nine Premier League games played in Yorkshire – only Alan Shearer (16) has scored more as a visiting player in the county.
