Leicester 2-3 Tottenham LIVE! Bergwijn goal - Premier League match stream, highlights and reaction
Steven Bergwijn scored twice in stoppage time as Tottenham pulled off a remarkable 3-2 victory at Leicester City in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Zambian striker Patson Daka put Leicester ahead, against the run of play, in the 24th minute with a sliding left-footed finish at the back post after Sergio Reguilon had failed to clear.
The visitors got their eventual reward when they drew level in the 38th minute with a clinical finish from Harry Kane, who beat the offside trap, skipped inside Caglar Soyuncu and drilled a low shot in off the far post.
It was a tighter affair after the break but Leicester got in front in the 76th minute when substitute Harvey Barnes found James Maddison whose low shot struck the outstretched leg of Japhet Tanganga and flew in via the post.
That looked to be enough until substitute Bergwijn levelled in stoppage time and then astonishingly grabbed the winner after being sent through by an excellent Kane pass.

Rodgers up next
21:51 , Marc Mayo
“It was 93 minutes of really good work,” he tells BT Sport. “To concede the equaliser was really disappointing, the winner was a very very very poor goal to concede. It’s really hard to accept.
“It’s not rust it’s managing the game, we missed out on a couple of defensive moments for 2-2, the third - Youri knows he can never make that pass. If you can’t win it at that stage you can’t be losing it. Real naive.”

Antonio Conte up next, the manager praising his Tottenham team for their mental resilience.
On Bergwijn, he adds: “I’ve said before that Steven is an important player and nobody has his characteristics; he’s good technically, in one-on-ones and physically. He’s an important choice for my starting XI or during the game.”
Scathing analysis
21:42 , Marc Mayo
Robbie Savage on BT Sport slating Leicester’s play for that third goal, “disgraceful” and “absolute shambles” as he runs over Tielemans losing the ball and Vestergaard not getting tight to Kane.
Peter Crouch adds that it’s “terrible” but praises Bergwijn for his composure.
21:40 , Marc Mayo
Kane, with a big grin on his face all through that interview, adds: “Full credit to Steven, it’s not been easy for him with injuries but credit to him for working hard. That’s what our team’s about, whether you’re playing or not playing.”
21:39 , Marc Mayo
“Yeah, I dunno,” Harry Kane admits to BT Sport. “What a rollercoaster of emotions that was.
“You just never give up, this guy came on and made a big difference. A game you’ll never forget for the rest of your career.”
Bergwijn, ever the cool character, adds: “If I come on I want to show myself, and I’m really happy.”
21:36 , Marc Mayo
Most of Tottenham’s fans still haven’t left the King Power... I think they enjoyed that one!
And Tottenham were thinking of selling this guy?

FULL TIME! Leicester 2-3 Tottenham
21:26 , Marc Mayo
How about that?!
21:26 , Marc Mayo
90+7 mins: Kane to Bergwijn, round the keeper, that’s the three points! OUTSTANDING END TO THE GAME!
GGGOOOALLLL!!!!
21:24 , Marc Mayo
TOTTENHAM WIN IT!
GOAL! Leicester 2-2 Tottenham | Bergwijn, 95'
21:23 , Marc Mayo
90+5 mins: THEY’VE DONE IT!
21:23 , Marc Mayo
90+4 mins: Bergwijn is booked for pushing Soyuncu to the ground - moments after claiming a penalty for himself!
Choudhury doesn’t do enough to make the Dutchman go down and his opponent’s reaction angered Bergwijn. Jon Moss played that one calmly.
21:22 , Marc Mayo
90+3 mins: There’s Maddison at the other end to make a vital interception, closing down Hojbjerg’s fierce shot and wearing it.
More scrambling around the D sees Leicester fail to clear but this will be all Spurs for the final 90 seconds!
21:20 , Marc Mayo
90+2 mins: Spurs break but sloppy passes foil their efforts, allowing Leicester to regroup before Barnes steals the ball.
21:19 , Marc Mayo
90 mins: Five minutes added on...
21:18 , Marc Mayo
89 mins: Leicester are dropping a bit too deep, letting Tottenham into their final third with minimal fuss.
Nothing coming by way of a final ball, mind, and Barnes almost gets a shot away on the counter.
21:16 , Marc Mayo
87 mins: Moura looks for Kane and Doherty at the far-post but the ball evades them both - before Kane foolishly leaves too much on Justin to concede the sort of foul he wins several times a game.
Dewsbury-Hall is the man coming off, to a standing ovation, for Soumare.
21:13 , Marc Mayo
85 mins: Maddison happily welcomes the physio on to look at his knee after a light touch from Lo Celso.
Soumare will be coming on to shore things up for the Foxes shortly...
21:12 , Marc Mayo
83 mins: That big Tottenham rally to a late equaliser is... not with us just yet.
Moura pops up out wide on the left and Schmeichel punches away just as Davies emerged to head it in!
21:09 , Marc Mayo
80 mins: Skipp’s ball down the flank is too much for Davies, the new left-back, to keep up with.
21:07 , Marc Mayo
78 mins: What can Tottenham do to wrestle this one back?
Kane spins in the area and his attempt bounces up to Doherty, who turns it goalward but Schmeichel was already out and making himself big to deny him.
Bergwijn is on for Reguilon.
21:06 , Marc Mayo
77 mins: Barnes off the bench was so key to that goal and Maddison’s shot was certainly on target before Tanganga’s touch took it around Lloris.
Conte’s unbeaten league record at Spurs is very much under threat!
GOAL! Leicester 2-1 Tottenham | Maddison, 75'
21:04 , Marc Mayo
75 mins: THAT’LL DO IT!
Maddison is played in and his effort deflects in at the near-post!
21:02 , Marc Mayo
74 mins: First change for Spurs, Winks coming off for Lo Celso.
Rodgers also turns to his bench, Daka replaced by Barnes.
21:01 , Marc Mayo
73 mins: A combined 33 shots tonight, 10 on target.
And the King Power is a bit muted as Leicester sit on the ball for a moment to ponder how they can work towards an unlikely winner.
21:00 , Marc Mayo
72 mins: Kane is fed the ball in the centre of the pitch and, looking around to see nobody up with him, he has a whack from 30 yards.
It goes, you guessed it, over the bar.
20:58 , Marc Mayo
70 mins: Continuing tonight’s theme of wayward shooting, a rare Leicester corner reaches Choudhury at the back stick yet his effort is so off-target it ends up being a pass back to the corner flag.
Tielemans is next to have a pop and Lloris watches it sail over.
20:56 , Marc Mayo
68 mins: Reguilon puts too much on a touch around one defender and Tielemans is ready to clear, but the Belgian slips and Reguilon can fire at goal... Schmeichel gathers easily.
20:55 , Marc Mayo
66 mins: Painful one for Lloris as he punches a free-kick clear and is left with a blow from Daka for his troubles.
All fair play and Jon Moss blows the whistle to allow some treatment - much to the home fans’ chagrin with the Foxes faithful feeling they are getting the rough end of the stick from the referee.

It's been more of the same in the first twenty minutes of this half, with Spurs well on top, though they haven't yet created the clear-cut openings of the first period. A bit of frustration brewing amongst the home crowd.
20:52 , Marc Mayo
63 mins: Tanganga again appears up the pitch and winds up a shot that tests Schmeichel, although it’s a bit of a camera save from the Dane.
20:51 , Marc Mayo
62 mins: We’re into the final half hour at the King Power with Tottenham generally on top, can they make the breakthrough?
20:48 , Marc Mayo
59 mins: While Doherty went for accuracy with his effort, and missed the target, Maddison went for power and slammed it into the keeper. Can’t help but think they should have both done it the other way around.
Gareth Southgate is in the stands for the Leicester playmaker as well, tonight...
Meanwhile, Sanchez is booked for downing Lookman.
20:47 , Marc Mayo
58 mins: Chance!
Maddison has to do better than that! A breakaway led by Dewsbury-Hall leads to Maddison being teed up and, with only Lloris to beat, he smashes it right at the goalkeeper...
20:44 , Marc Mayo
56 mins: Wide!
More from the visitors as a cross dribbles out to Doherty in the D, but on his wrong foot the Irishman goes for accuracy and misses the target.
20:43 , Marc Mayo
55 mins: Kane beats Choudhury and goes down to earn the Leicester defender a booking, that one’s been coming...
20:42 , Marc Mayo
54 mins: Big cheers from the home fans for Justin’s first touches, the 23-year-old’s first since suffering a serious injury in February.
20:41 , Marc Mayo
53 mins: Rushed from Kane as he wanders forward through the middle, lofting an effort over the bar.
An early change in the half from Leicester as Rodgers brings Justin back into match action, for Thomas, after a tricky start down that flank for the Foxes.
20:39 , Marc Mayo
51 mins: Tanganga free to get involved in the attack as Tottenham continue to work their way towards a second goal, although his ball in is easy for Schmeichel to gather.
20:36 , Marc Mayo
48 mins: Again the threat comes down the right through Moura and Doherty, whose cross is much better this time.
Reguilon is closed down before he can work a shot.
20:35 , Marc Mayo
47 mins: Straight into the mix, Doherty wins the ball and darts up the pitch before linking up with Kane.
The wing-back’s cross is a bit hit-and-hope, leading to Hojbjerg taking a shot from 30 yards that hits a defender.
Second-half begins!
20:33 , Marc Mayo
Indeed, Emerson is replaced by Doherty.
Who can snatch all three points in this one?
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
20:30 , Marc Mayo
Looks like Matt Doherty will be on at half-time for Tottenham. That will surely be in place of Emerson Royal on the right, because Reguilon has been excellent on his return.
Elsewhere in the Premier League...
20:28 , Marc Mayo
It’s goalless between Brentford and Manchester United - with the Bees having the best of it.

20:18 , Marc Mayo
The scoreline tells very little of the story after what's been an encouraging first-half for Tottenham. They've been a real threat despite an apparently conservative team selection and could very feasibly have scored five.
Half-time! Leicester 1-1 Tottenham
20:17 , Marc Mayo
It’s all square after an entertaining 45 minutes...
20:16 , Marc Mayo
45 mins: Kane is the link man for Skipp to make a long run down the right flank, his cut-back being cleared before Hojbjerg can pounce.
Two minutes added on...
20:13 , Marc Mayo
42 mins: The counter-attacks are proving Tottenham’s best avenue now and Kane takes aim from 25 yards, before his daisy-cutter is comfortable for Schmeichel to hold onto.
20:11 , Marc Mayo
40 mins: The Foxes respond well to that goal and enjoy a spell of possession 40 yards from the Spurs goal.
But it breaks down and Moura runs into space, Kane is played in... and SKIES IT!
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
20:10 , Marc Mayo
That was coming. Spurs have hit the post, had two cleared off the line and finally Harry Kane has them deservedly on terms. Superb composure.
GOAL! Leicester 1-1 Tottenham | Kane, 37'
20:09 , Marc Mayo
37 mins: There it is!
Tottenham race clear after Winks plays a quick pass over the top and Kane buries it!
20:07 , Marc Mayo
36 mins: Off the line! AGAIN!
Tottenham release Moura into space and Schmeichel holds off the Brazilian by the D, only for Hojbjerg to emerge and fire at goal...
And Albrighton is there to clear with a fantastic rush back to the goalline!
20:06 , Marc Mayo
35 mins: Ten minutes to go of the half that the Foxes have very much enjoyed, despite a long period under the cosh.
They say goals change games...
20:04 , Marc Mayo
33 mins: Save!
Winks hesitates as he doesn’t get the ‘man-on’ call and loses possession, Leicester quickly get the ball to Maddison who wraps his right foot around a fine effort that Lloris has to dive to parry wide.
20:02 , Marc Mayo
32 mins: Daka shows off his hold-up play by holding off Sanchez before moving the ball on.
Leicester work it right to left before a cute one-two between the Zambian and Lookman goes out of play.
Meanwhile, check out the opener:

29 mins: Moura moves nicely down the left and rolls in Hojbjerg, but his cross loops up and away from Kane in the middle.
A bit of a sense that Tottenham are a man short of the creativity they need right now...

A bit of a sense that Tottenham are a man short of the creativity they need right now...
19:59 , Marc Mayo
28 mins: That goal has really sparked Leicester’s confidence, Maddison is popping up time and time again in that hole behind Daka.
19:57 , Marc Mayo
26 mins: A definition ‘against the run of play’ goal, that.
How must Spurs rue their misses?
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
19:56 , Marc Mayo
Leicester picked the wrong pass or took a heavy touch on about three occasions in the build-up to that goal, but that almost seemed to confuse the Spurs defenders more.
A bit unlucky with how Reguilon's tackle fell to Daka but after a bright start, they find themselves behind.
GOAL! Leicester 1-0 Tottenham | Daka, 24'
19:54 , Marc Mayo
24 mins: WOW! LEICESTER LEAD!
The Foxes break forward and Daka slides it home!
19:53 , Marc Mayo
22 mins: Miss!
What a chance for Sanchez! The visitors’ sixth corner is played short and Sanchez is found at the far-post... but tamely nudges his header into the side netting.
19:52 , Marc Mayo
21 mins: Save!
Moura is the latest to chance his arm with a run parallel with the 18-yard line and his powerful shot is palmed clear by Schmeichel.
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
19:51 , Marc Mayo
This is Harry Kane's 17th career appearance against Leicester, which means he's now "only" averaging a goal a game against them. You wouldn't bet on that still being the case come full-time though - he's had one cleared off the line and hit the bar already.
19:49 , Marc Mayo
17 mins: OFF THE BAR!
Tottenham’s corner count ticks up another two notches yet their hosts have largely dealt with them well - until Kane latches onto Winks’ ball and his close-range header smacks the woodwork!
19:46 , Marc Mayo
15 mins: Tottenham continue to look dangerous and Kane tries a backheel one-two with Hojbjerg but the Dane is not quite that quick, and they have to settle for a corner.
Kane flicks the ball in over the bar.
19:45 , Marc Mayo
14 mins: A better slide tackle from Choudhury on Reguilon - and it had to be, as the Spaniard ran into the area.
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
19:42 , Marc Mayo
With that more conservative midfield, Tottenham's wing-backs are being given so much licence to get forward that they're almost playing a 3-3-4 in possession.
Both Reguilon and Emerson are right up on the shoulder of the last man when their centre-backs have the ball.
19:42 , Marc Mayo
11 mins: Spurs have a fair bit of zip about them now and Reguilon wins a foul off Choudhury on the edge of the box.
Kane lines it up and a low hit bounces off the bottom of the wall.
19:40 , Marc Mayo
9 mins: [Insert: That’s the Harry Kane we all know! caption]
19:39 , Marc Mayo
8 mins: Off the line!
Kane spins two defenders with aplomb and fires a shot across goal - but Thomas rushes back at the far-post to deflect it wide!
Malik Ouzia at King Power Stadium
19:38 , Marc Mayo
Tottenham have got three fairly defensively-minded midfielders in the middle of the park, presumably to counter the threat of the in-form Maddison in the No.10.
It's not worked brilliantly so far, because on a couple of occasions he's cropped up in great positions between the lines and only the fact that teammates haven't spotted his runs have spared Spurs a bit of bother.
19:37 , Marc Mayo
6 mins: Another move down the left from the Foxes stumbles with a wayward Lookman pass.
All very patient from Leicester so far, Tielemans darting about all over the place to pull the strings.
19:35 , Marc Mayo
4 mins: Leicester get into the game with a lovely cross from the left by Thomas.
Daka is lurking at the near-post and the defence just about manage to turn the ball away from goal!
19:34 , Marc Mayo
3 mins: First foray forward from the visitors and Skipp wins a corner down the right channel.
A foul in the box quells the pressure.
19:32 , Marc Mayo
2 mins: Winks sitting a bit deeper than Skipp and Hojbjerg as more of a deep-lying playmaker, with a lot of onus on Lucas and Kane to make things happen in attack for Spurs.
As expected, Leicester are matching their opponents with a 3-5-2.

Rodgers demands intensity

Brendan Rodgers is in good spirits ahead of tonight’s match.
He tells BT Sport: “We’ll always try to play with intensity, looking to attack. But against top players you need to defend well too.
“We’ve done well against Tottenham, not so much the last day of last season, we’ll see if we can continue from our last two performances.”

“I don’t like to speak about winning before the game, we are about to play a really strong team,” he states.
“Leicester last season finished above us in the table and they deserve great respect. They won the FA Cup and are a team we have to do our best to get three points against tonight.”

Berbatov on Kane
19:07 , Marc Mayo
Dimitar Berbatov believes one of Antonio Conte’s key achievements has been reinvigorating Harry Kane.
“Having watched a lot of Spurs games recently, I'm pleased to see Harry Kane getting back to his usual self, which is a good thing for everyone connected with the club,” the ex-striker told Betfair.
“But again let's not jump to conclusions, it's better off to leave Spurs out of the spotlight, in the past they haven't been able to handle that pressure, he will get back to his best again, these things take time.
“We all know how important Kane is for the club, the team starts with him.”
The striker has 17 goals in 16 games against the Foxes - his favourite team to play.

It may not be as doom and gloom at Spurs as it seems at the moment - particularly if they win tonight.
Conte on Tottenham transfers
18:53 , Marc Mayo
Antonio Conte has refused to guarantee any incomings for Tottenham this month.
The club are seeking new faces, at the coach’s request, but the nature of the January market will make things difficult.
He said yesterday: “I know that the transfer window in January is always very difficult and it is more simple when you start the season to buy important players.
“In January it is not easy, but at the same time we know very well that if there is the opportunity and also if it’s not the best opportunity, but we need to do something.
“Also, if I repeat that this could not be the best opportunity but I think that we are in a situation where we have to try to implement the squad because the squad is not so big.”

Five changes from Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers as Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez drop to the bench.
It looks like a match-up to their visitors in a 3-5-2 formation, with Caglar Soyuncu fit to start at the back. Luke Thomas comes in down the left with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Kasper Schmeichel and Patson Daka also introduced.
