Tottenham fans will love the three things Lucas Moura did after Steven Bergwijn Leicester winner

It's going to be incredibly hard between now and the end of the season to top the wild celebrations that took place following Tottenham's dramatic win over Leicester City.

Trailing 2-1 heading into five minutes of stoppage time at the King Power Stadium, Antonio Conte's men looked like they had got themselves out of jail with Steven Bergwijn firing home from inside the box with nine seconds left on the clock.

However, there was still time for the Dutchman to net a winner after Leicester's Youri Tielemans had lost the ball straight from kick-off.

Bergwijn still had plenty to do after collecting Harry Kane's through ball to round Kasper Schmeichel but he managed to find the net via the post despite Caglar Soyuncu making life hard for him by narrowing the angle.

The 24-year-old was duly mobbed as he made his way into the crowd, with Spurs captain Hugo Lloris even up there with him to celebrate after sprinting from his own area after the ball went in.

Lucas Moura soon joined the duo to celebrate the winner and many eagle-eyed fans will have spotted the Brazilian pinching one Tottenham supporter's hat and throwing it to the floor as the fan hugged Bergwijn.

Lucas' celebrations didn't end there, however, as he jumped on the back of one steward in front of the advertising hoardings before going back on to the pitch and embracing Oliver Skipp.

However, he then decided to turn back for more and decided to jump on another steward and remained there for a few seconds to wave his hands in the air towards the outstanding away support.

Taking to Twitter after the game, the Brazilian captioned a picture of him celebrating on the back of a steward: "COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS COYS #ObrigadoJESUS."

With Spurs not throwing the towel in and going right until the last second to complete the remarkable turnaround, head coach Conte was full of praise of his players after the game.

"At the end for us it's very important to get three points, especially against a strong team like Leicester," said the Italian.

"For us it’s very important to improve our confidence, to improve our belief, to win also in this way and to show that you have great resilience.

"My players didn’t want today to accept the defeat. For me it was important to see this on the pitch."
