Tottenham Hotspur secured a vital three points in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night, scoring two goals in two stoppage-time minutes to turn the game around, leaving the King Power Stadium as 3-2 winners.
The two late goals both came via Dutchman Steven Bergwijn, sending the Spurs players, coaching staff and fans into a frenzy. One key moment was captured as club captain Hugo Lloris ran the full length of the pitch to get involved in the celebrations.

Bergwijn’s late salvo ensured Spurs’ Champions League qualification chances were still well within their own hands.
They sit 5th in the table, a point off that lucrative 4th spot held by West Ham United at the moment, though Antonio Conte’s side have three games in hand on their London rivals.
The fact they’re already ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United with games in hand on them suggests that they’re comfortably the frontrunners to complete the Champions League qualifiers from England come the end of the season.
