Spurs draw confirms Leicester as Premier League champions

 

Tottenham threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Chelsea in a heated London derby on Monday.

 

The stalemate at Stamford Bridge confirms Leicester as Premier League champions, with the Foxes now seven points clear at the top of the table with two games to play.

 

Spurs were on the back foot in the opening exchanges, but took the initiative with 10 minutes of the first half remaining as Harry Kane knocked the ball around Asmir Begovic to tap into an empty net after being put through by Erik Lamela.

 

On the stroke of half time, Heung-min Son doubled Spurs' advantage after rifling past Begovic having latched onto a Christian Eriksen pass.

 

Guus Hiddink opted against starting Eden Hazard, but introduced the Belgian at the interval and his impact was immediate, with Chelsea pegging Spurs back from the get go.

Gary Cahill halved the deficit just before the hour mark to bury past Hugo Lloris, before Hazard drew Chelsea level in the final minutes to secure the Blues a point and hand Leicester the title.

 

It was a game of emotions as Spurs failed to keep calm, receiving nine yellow cards in the draw at Stamford Bridge, more than any other team in a Premier League match this season.

 

The introduction of Hazard, though, swung the tie back in Chelsea's favour as Spurs struggled to contain the threat of the Belgian, with he gaining a rating of 8.58, enough to earn the WhoScored man of the match award.
