Well the so called magic of Big Sam couldn’t save us from relegation.
Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League as they lost their final game of the season to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Whites’ fans turned on both their team and the club’s owners as the West Yorkshire side’s three-year top-flight stay came to a meek and pitiful end at Elland Road.
Needing to win to stand any chance of preserving their Premier League status, Leeds trailed inside the opening two minutes through Harry Kane’s excellent finish.
Pedro Porro then doubled Tottenham’s lead when he fired in from a tight angle early in the second half.
Jack Harrison made it 2-1 to give Leeds brief hope of pulling off an unlikely escape, but Kane’s 30th league goal of the season restored Spurs’ two-goal advantage.
Lucas Moura marked his farewell appearance by scoring a fine solo goal in injury time, although Tottenham’s first top-flight win outside London since October was not enough to prevent them missing out on European qualification for the first time since they finished eighth in 2008-09.
For Leeds, however, the damage is far worse. I couldn’t agree more.
Overall I think we deserved to go down, we just couldn’t score and the form in April, we just leaked goal after goal and became the 1st team in premiership history to concede over 70 goals in consecutive seasons.
I just hope it doesn’t take several seasons to get promoted after last time we were relegated from the premiership.
League position 19th after 38 games – After 38 games last season, Leeds were 17th.
