Bournemouth climbed 10 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone and plunged Leeds into further difficulty with a brilliant 4-1 win at the Vitality Stadium.
Jefferson Lerma's four-minute double - the second of which came from a glaring error from Illan Meslier - put the Cherries in front, but Leeds - who had the better of the early exchanges - levelled when Patrick Bamford headed in a cross from Willy Gnonto.
The Whites had little in the way of meaningful attacking intent after the break and they were unable to respond when Dominic Solanke rolled a shot in off the inside of the left-hand post with just over an hour gone.
Antoine Semenyo added an unprecedented fourth in stoppage time, when his relatively tame effort squirmed through Meslier's grasp.
With their healthy points tally, Gary O'Neil's Cherries are now sat 13th in the table with four games left to play. Leeds, meanwhile, stay 16th, level on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and one above Leicester, who occupy the final spot in the bottom three.
