Leeds were shoved to the brink of relegation from the Premier League after their 'must-win' match at West Ham ended in a 3-1 defeat.
Sam Allardyce's rescue mission reached crisis point after goals from Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini denied them the victory their new manager admitted they needed to have any realistic chance of staying up.
Allardyce arrived at Elland Road as a last-ditch appointment with four games to go, but his first three matches have provided just two points.
Now Leeds need to beat Tottenham next weekend and hope a Bournemouth side with nothing to play for can do them an almighty favour at Everton. Moreover, should Leicester beat Newcastle on Monday night, the Whites will start the final day second from bottom.
