Leicester 2 Tottenham 3

Leicester 2 Tottenham 3: Steven Bergwijn scores TWO added-time goals to snare a huge three points for the Foxes.

Tottenham have not had a celebration like this since their Champions League victory over Ajax.

And Steven Bergwijn, who could be on his way to Amsterdam, provided an incredible finish to the game.

He scored twice in injury time, in the 95th and 97th minutes, to the complete and utter surprise of Leicester, who had thought they had won the game.

At 2-1, Bergwijn could have been sent off for a shove on Caglar Soyuncu, but instead, the 79th-minute substitute produced a stunning comeback.

Spurs fans who had been yelling for Daniel Levy to leave the club changed their tune at the conclusion.

As a manager of Tottenham Hotspur, he is still unbeaten in the Premier League. Somehow.

Bergwijn has received a £15 million bid from Ajax, but Spurs are holding out for more. Following that, the London club may change their tune and decline any future offers.

For the majority of the evening, we assumed it would be about Harry Kane scoring his 250th club goal.

Despite scoring his 18th goal in 17 outings against Leicester, his favorite club, the England captain had little to cheer about until the final whistle.

This was particularly severe on Leicester, who were playing their first Premier League game of the year.

Brendan Rodgers’ players, like their 1-0 triumph over Liverpool in their last top-flight encounter on December 28, showed real character in what has been a long season.

They did, however, buckle at the end, unlike Liverpool.

Leicester were put under a lot of pressure right away, starting with a back three of Hamza Choudhury, Caglar Soyuncu, and Jannik Vestergaard.

Kane had a shot cleared off the line by Luke Thomas, struck a free-kick against the wall and had two free headers, the second of which gave the bar a good hammering .

Schmeichel pushed away a shot from Lucas Moura and a Spurs goal seemed inevitable, particularly as they were enjoying a whopping 92 per cent possession during this one-sided sided game.

And from nowhere, with their first attack of the game, Patson Daka gave Leicester the lead.

Tottenham’s goal was a messed-up one because they failed to stop Kiernan Dewsbury-run. Hall’s Ademola Lookman was poised to shoot when Sergio Reguilon pushed the ball to Daka, who squeezed a shot past Hugo Lloris via the post.

Lloris should have done better and appeared to go down too soon, but he saved James Maddison with a good stop.

Spurs, on the other hand, were always a threat, and despite Marc Albrighton’s spectacular goal-line clearance to prevent Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Kane got his goal.

More shoddy defense came from Vestergaard, whose ball was intercepted by Ollie Skipp. Harry Winks then freed Kane, who charged into the area, turned Soyuncu, and scored via the penalty spot.

Spurs should have been out of sight by halftime if Kane had taken a few more chances, one of which he squandered.

After an ACL injury, James Justin made his debut appearance for Leicester in 11 months nine minutes into the second half, to a standing ovation.

Despite Tottenham’s pressure, Leicester posed a threat on the counter, despite the absence of Jamie Vardy.

As the game became more interesting and wild, both teams had more chances.

And Maddison, who was becoming a greater threat, teamed up with Ashley Barnes, who had only recently come as a replacement for Daka.

Barnes intercepted a ball from Maddison, who dashed into the box, and his strike was deflected off the post by Japhet Tanganga.

Davinson Sanchez, who couldn’t keep up with Maddison, was one guy who was severely exposed in all of this.

So it’s 2-1. It was supposed to be over by now.
Bergwijn came in to replace Sergio Reguillon in the 79th minute, then attempted to win a penalty by shoving Soyuncu.

The home crowd chanted for a red card, but he only received a yellow. It quickly devolved into a disaster.

Matt Doherty’s shot was blocked five minutes into stoppage time, and Bergwijn leveled.

Spurs would have been content with a point, but to their credit, they went for broke.

And Kane’s defence-splitting pass was intercepted by Bergwijn, who rounded Schmeichel and put the ball into the net.

And not since that semi-final at Ajax in 2019 – when the club won the Champions League semi-final on away goals – had we seen anything like this.

The key is whether this is the last thing Bergwijn contributes to Tottenham or whether this could be the start of something special.
