Tottenham Hotspur pulled off an incredible comeback at Leicester on Wednesday night.

Spurs trailed 2-1 deep into injury time, and Antonio Conte was looking at his first N17 league defeat.

However, Tottenham ace Steven Bergwijn struck twice to ensure Spurs left the Midlands with all three points.

Spurs conceded first due to Patson Daka’s 24th-minute effort, but Harry Kane equalised on 38 minutes.

Midway through the second half, Leicester went ahead again through James Maddison.

As the clocked ticked into injury time, it looked as though Spurs were looking at defeat.

However, Bergwijn was on hand to slam home from close range on 95 minutes following good work from Matt Doherty.

The 79th-minute substitute then took the ball around Kasper Schmeichel and scored off the inside of the post 80 seconds later.

Tottenham shared footage of Bergwijn’s winning goal and ensuing celebrations on their Twitter feed.

The clip included the moment Lucas Moura grabbed a fan’s bobble hat and appeared to throw it on the ground.

Spurs icon Toby Alderweireld took to Twitter with his take on the goal and celebrations, including a request for Lucas:

Scenes 🤩

👏👏 ! And buy that fan a new hat, 🤣

Truly a night that nobody connected with Tottenham – fans, players, peers and everyone else – will ever forget.
