Steven Bergwijn scored a stunning double deep into stoppage time as Tottenham snatched a 3-2 Premier League win at Leicester City on Wednesday.
Patson Daka put the Foxes in front against the run of play in a thrilling contest on Wednesday, but Harry Kane’s 250th club goal of his career brought Spurs level in a pulsating first half.
James Maddison looked to have consigned Antonio Conte to a first top-flight defeat as Spurs boss when he restored Leicester’s lead 14 minutes from time.
Bergwijn had other ideas, coming off the bench to strike twice with time running out to move Spurs above fierce rivals Arsenal into fifth place.
Kane had a shot brilliantly cleared off the line by the alert Luke Thomas before planting a header against the crossbar when he rose to meet Harry Winks’ corner as Tottenham got off to a blistering start.
Davinson Sanchez nodded wide from close range and Spurs were made to pay for their profligacy when they were caught on the break 24 minutes in, Daka lashing in with his left foot after Sergio Reguilon tackled Ademola Lookman but the ball fell into the path of the Zambia striker.
Marc Albrighton cleared a fierce strike from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg off the line before Kane scored his landmark goal, taking a pass from Winks and beating Caglar Soyuncu in the box before his left-foot finish went in off the post.
Kane should have put his side in front late in the first half when he raced clear but rifled over the bar and Matt Doherty failed to hit the target early in the second half.
The in-form Maddison restored Leicester’s lead, taking a clever pass from Harvey Barnes as he raced into the area and seeing his shot deflect in off Japhet Tanganga.
Substitute Bergwijn came to Spurs’ rescue in the most dramatic of finales, first capitalising on slack defending to lash home with his right foot after 95 minutes and then stunning Leicester by rounding Kasper Schmeichel and finding the back of the net via the right-hand post after being slipped in by Kane seven minutes into time added on.
