WHAT A way to sign off at Wembley.
Harry Kane, scoring Tottenham’s 77th minute winner in this crazy, chaotic game, has finished the season with a 30 goal Premier League haul.
He scored twice here, desperately trying to chase down Mo Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.
In the end, he was a couple short of drawing level with the Liverpool forward.
For the time being he can put personal accolades to one side because this was a bonkers game of football.
Leicester, playing like the side who won the Premier League two years ago, were irresistible at times.
They twice went ahead in the first half and looked to have done enough to finish the season with a point when Jamie Vardy lashed in a 73rd minute equaliser to make it 4-4.
Somewhere and somehow, Tottenham scored five times.
The goals just kept on coming, one after the other as Spurs forced their way back into this game.
They had been booed off at the break, with their fans on their case because they were 2-1 down after Vardy and Riyad Mahrez got first half goals.
Kane’s first effort, a seventh minute equaliser swerving beyond Eldin Jakupovic, did not appease them.
Instead they got going after the break, going 4-3 ahead when Erik Lamela scored twice and played a part in the deflected effort off Christian Fuchs.
Vardy responded, firing an equaliser off his left foot after 73 minutes when Mahrez sent his team-mate running through on goal.
Three minutes later Spurs scored again when Kane cut inside before bending the winner beyond the reach of Leicester’s keeper.
They stopped at five, seeing out their final game at the national stadium before they head back to White Hart Lane next season.
