A match and season full of drama

The Leicester match was chockfull of swings in momentum and drama, again reflecting Tottenham’s rollercoaster season.

Spurs went down 2-1 before coming from behind in the final few minutes to snatch victory. The late drama in today’s match closely resembled the off-the-field happenings throughout the topsy-turvy campaign.

Here’s a recap of the most dramatic events from the season:

Jose Mourinho was sacked just six days before the Carabao Cup Final
Tottenham’s ownership group decided to unilaterally include the club in the Super League
Spurs were upended by Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League Round of 16 after leading by two goals going into the second leg
Harry Kane conveyed his desire to leave Tottenham after the season without first discussing it with the club
The saga of trying to find a suitable manager to replace Jose continues. The decision to sack Jose was clearly made impetuously, without a contingency plan in place
Tottenham, with Bale’s late heroics, avoided finishing below Arsenal, a distinctly relieving silver lining
