Ebanie Bridges’ X-rated Leeds plea backfires as she watches relegation with fans
Ebanie Bridges' best efforts to save Leeds United from relegation proved to be in vain despite her offering the squad a number of explicit incentives if they beat the drop.
The Yorkshire-based club were sent back down to the Championship on Sunday after failing to beat Tottenham in their final match of the season at Elland Road. Leeds were on the receiving end of a convincing 4-1 beating by Spurs, although even a victory would not have kept their Premier League status in tact.
The damage had already been done for Leeds ahead of the season finale, with even Sam Allardyce's rescue mission with four games to spare proving futile. Bridges herself had taken matters into her own hands with two games remaining in a desperate bid to salvage Leeds' hopes.

"Hey guys [Leeds], if you stay up I'll flash my boobs," Bridges promised on talkSPORT ahead of their penultimate fixture at West Ham. "I'll get in that locker room, pull my shirt up and flash my boobs or something like that. I'll kiss you, anything. Whatever, I'll give you a free subscription to my OnlyFans."
"Please Leeds stay up, don't f***ing disappoint me," she added.
Sadly for Bridges, it wasn't to be. Leeds left themselves with a mountain to climb after losing to West Ham 3-1, despite taking the lead at the London Stadium. Allardyce then needed to oversee a victory over Tottenham and hope both Leicester and Everton failed to claim three points in their games against West Ham and Bournemouth respectively, which both managed to win.
Abdoulaye Doucoure's winner for Everton ensured their Premier League safety, consigning both Leeds and Leicester to the drop, along with Southampton, who lost their battle several matches prior. Bridges could only watch on helplessly after joining Philadelphia Whites supporters' club to catch the game and cheer Leeds on.
"Not the result we wanted," the Australian boxer Tweeted. "However it was great to catch up with the Philly Whites crew to watch the game in company whilst in Philly."
Leeds had given themselves a glimmer of hope when Jack Harrison halved the deficit to 2-1 after goals from Harry Kane and Pedro Porro had put Spurs ahead. But their hopes were dashed again two minutes later when Kane added his second, before Lucas Moura sealed their fate with a brilliant solo goal in injury time.

Speaking after the game, Allardyce, who is open to staying on as manager, said: “There is a lot of work to be done here next season, even in the Championship. Goals need to be scored and you need goalscorers to score them. The squad is a little on the young side and lacks experience.
"As a squad they haven’t been good enough. You can’t keep making unforced errors. We gifted Tottenham three goals today. Which way does the club want to go?”
