While all of us were transfixed on events in N17, there were celebrations up and down the country as the Premier League's upwardly mobile middle class capitalised on the struggles of two 'Big Six' members.
How about Sunderland, eh? The newly promoted side had seemingly run out of steam during the run-in. Still, back-to-back wins, including a 2-1 victory over one of the aforementioned strugglers, Chelsea, resulted in a Europa League berth.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, harboured loftier ambitions than Europe's second-tier competition, despite never before enjoying the continental stage. After Aston Villa triumphed in Istanbul last week, there was a world in which a sixth-place finish would be enough to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Bournemouth's draw at Nottingham Forest wasn't the issue. Instead, it was those pesky, hungover Villans accidentally winning at Manchester City. The Cherries needed Villa to finish fifth for a Champions League spot to be passed down to sixth, but they remained fourth by winning on the final day (Liverpool were also held by Brentford).
So, what does the admirable success story have to do with Spurs? Well, the Lilywhites, with their Premier League status just about in tact, have the chance to smitten one of Bournemouth's brightest stars.
Spurs should pursue boyhood fan Alex Scott this summer
A curious summer beckons for Bournemouth after a historic season. The mastermind of their rise, Andoni Iraola, is being replaced by Marco Rose, and there's no doubt that the key protagonists of the Iraola era have been tracked by not merely the Premier League's elite, but some of the continent's aristocracy, too.
Some may wonder whether Europa League football, despite its novelty on the south coast, will be enough for Bournemouth's stars to resist temptations from elsewhere.
Among those bound to attract interest is midfielder Alex Scott. Another Cherries recruitment success story, Scott has blossomed into a superb operator at the highest level. Reports suggest that Arsenal and Manchester United will be snooping around once the window opens, with both offering Scott the allure of Champions League nights.
Spurs have been tenuously linked, too, primarily because Scott is #FullyCOYS. Thus, we represent something far deeper and more meaningful
"Literally my dad," Scott responded when asked about his fandom two years ago. "And then I fell in love with Tottenham as a kid. So yeah, they're my club!"
Scott, a versatile ball-carrying midfielder, may be rather similar in profile to some of Tottenham's current options, but the 22-year-old is a level or two above those we hold the highest of hopes for, namely Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.
It may not be the smartest allocation of funds, given our needs elsewhere, but how can you be against the addition of a Spurs-supporting soon-to-be-superstar midfielder? For now, mind, it's just a pipe dream. Survival may well be deluding us regarding what we can achieve this summer.
