LONDON • Antonio Conte said he saw the spirit he is trying to implement at Tottenham Hotspur after Steven Bergwijn scored twice deep into stoppage time to stun Leicester City with a thrilling 3-2 Premier League win on Wednesday.
The Foxes looked set to snatch victory against the run of play as Patson Daka and James Maddison struck either side of Harry Kane’s first-half equaliser at the King Power Stadium.
But Bergwijn, who had not scored a league goal this season, came off the bench to turn the game around in a dramatic finale. Instead of suffering Conte’s first league defeat since taking charge in November, victory lifts Spurs above north London rivals Arsenal into fifth and within a point of fourth-placed West Ham United (37) with three games in hand.
“I think we showed today that we don’t want to give up. Never,” said the Tottenham manager.
