Tottenham set a unique Premier League record after dramatic victory against Leicester City

Antonio Conte was looking to be beaten for the first time as Tottenham boss in the Premier League on Wednesday against Leicester City when his side were 2-1 down going into second half stoppage time. However substitute Steven Bergwijn scored twice in the stoppage time to take home all three points and hence sparked wild celebrations on Spurs bench and in the away end of the King Power Stadium.

Spurs went behind midway through the first half completely against the run of play with Patson Daka slotting home from close range. Harry Kane saw his header off the post and Leicester City defender Luke Thomas cleared off Kane’s effort off the line as Spurs continue to dominate. However Kane pulled his side level after getting past Caglar Soyuncu as his shot bounced off the woodwork before going in.
