Spurs turned four wins from four, into six wins from six with the next two games. Spurs won for the first time at Stamford Bridge since 1990, with a fine away comeback.

Morata gave Chelsea the lead, but a Christian Eriksen pile driver, levelled the match on the stroke of half time. Dele Alli scored a brace to win the points, and make history.

The second victory was away at Stoke. Eriksen opened the scoring before an equalizer. Harry Kane also scored his first goal since his return from injury. He was awarded the goal following controversy over whether or not he got a touch.

But, the momentum ended on a whimper, with one point in the next two games. Spurs were dismantled again by Manchester City with Eriksen scoring the goal for the hosts in a 1-3 defeat.

Harry Kane was the goal scorer at Brighton in a 1-1 draw. Spurs were able to get back to winning ways with a home win over Watford. Alli and Kane were on target.

May began with a poor display and a defeat at the Hawthorns. Despite that setback, the club ended the season with two wins. This ensured that Tottenham finished the campaign in third place, and guaranteed them Champions League football for three seasons running.

In the first, a Kane strike was the only goal as Spurs defeated Newcastle.

The last day of the season was also the final game at Wembley for Spurs. It was a crazy game, with defensive problems for both sides. This culminated in a shocking 5-4 win for the hosts. Harry Kane and Erik Lamela both hit braces, and an own goal gave Spurs the win to end the season in an entertaining manner.
