Tottenham, thanks to late heroics from super sub Steven Bergwijn, scored two last-gasp goals to deservingly take all three points in a stunning 3-2 win over Leicester.

Tottenham created loads of chances but, until the last five minutes, were unable make the most of them, allowing Leicester to have a chance at all three points. But what drama. What exhilaration. And what a cameo appearance from Bergwijn, who saved Tottenham’s bacon with a brace at the death. Still want to sell him, Mr. Conte?

While well deserved, it’s a win that could have turned out very differently.

Tottenham’s defence didn’t help their case, with the backline unable to deal with the Foxes’ counter. Leicester had only a few chances, but made the most of them.

It was by no means a perfect performance, but Antonio Conte will be thrilled by his team’s resilience and commitment to push for all three points until the final whistle. Truly a staggering three points, which propels Spurs over Arsenal into fifth place .

Here are the player ratings from a pulsating, heart-pounding evening in Leicester.
