This game may not have won Tottenham the Premier League just yet but, as Antonio Conte celebrated his side’s never-say-die attitude, it was also the latest a team has been trailing in this division only to end up winning since Martin Tyler screamed ‘Agüero’ in May 2012 and Manchester City beat QPR 3-2 at the death to clinch the Premier League title. The first of Steven Bergwijn’s two goals came – after Leicester had led courtesy of James Maddison– with the clock on 94 minutes and 52 seconds and momentum is with Spurs now as they moved to within one point of the top four.

In the most incredible finish imaginable, Bergwijn, on as a 79th-minute substitute, could even count himself fortunate to still be on the field after he had been booked for shoving Caglar Soyuncu in playing for a penalty as this topsy-turvy game entered stoppage time.
