This goal sent the Foxes into a frenzy.

Man, Tottenham just couldn't catch a break in the 2010s, could they? In 2016, Spurs were in the hunt for the Premier League title. However, a string of inconsistencies left Leicester City within touching distance of the crown. Tottenham had to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to have any chance of winning the league. This game was dubbed as the 'Battle of the Bridge'.

Mind you, this was the Chelsea side which finished in 10th place in 2015-16. Spurs started off strongly, leading 2-0 at half-time with goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. But the second half saw one final twist in the title race, as the Blues fought back.

Eden Hazard, who had been quiet all season, finally found his magic pair of boots and ended Tottenham with a splendid strike to make it 2-2. The final ten minutes of the game was feisty as ever, with tackles flying around. At full-time though, it was the Foxes that were flying. This result meant that Leicester were crowned Premier League champions. A truly memorable affair.
