English Premier League: Final Day Roundup
By Orri Benatar
Tottenham 5-4 Leicester
So far, the final day has the EPL record goalscorer, EPL record for points, last game for Arsene Wenger, and now a nine-goal thriller at Wembley between Spurs and the Foxes.
Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane traded goals in the first seven minutes to make it 1-1. Riyad Mahrez was able to convert a few minutes later to end the half with a Leicester lead. Just after the match resumed, Kelechi Iheanacho scored this thunderous shot to make it 3-1.
Tottenham was far from out of it when Erik Lamela scored and then forced a Christian Fuchs own goal to tie the game at three. Lamela then scored again to make it three Spurs goals in the span of 11 minutes. 4-3 Tottenham.
The game then ended the same way it started. Vardy scored the 4-4 equalizer and Harry Kane canceled it out with his brace and sealing a stunning 5-4 win for Tottenham’s last home game at Wembley. Spurs finish in third on 77 points. Leicester in ninth on 47 points.
Kane’s two goals gave him a career-high 30 to end the campaign. Any other year, he wins the golden boot. Mo Salah took that with that 32nd goal earlier in the day.
