Bridge of sighs for Spurs as Leicester complete impossible dream

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2: Leicester’s fairytale is finally complete and although Claudio Ranieri’s men were not on the pitch, it could hardly have been achieved in more dramatic, controversial or exciting fashion as Eden Hazard’s goal ended Tottenham’s challenge in a ferocious and pulsating match at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs, 2-0 up at half-time through goals from Harry Kane and Heung Min Song, and ready to take extend the title race for one last week, were eventually pegged back to 2-2 in a game that packed an entire season’s drama into 90 minutes.

How on earth it ended with 22 men on the pitch only referee Mark Clattenburg knows — Tottenham had nine players booked — and The FA’s disciplinary board could spend the next week studying the video so much went on, not least an eye-gouge by Mousa Dembele on Diego Costa and a stamp on Cesc Fabregas’ hand by Erik Lamela.
