LONDON: Steven Bergwijn scored two stoppage-time goals as Tottenham pulled off a dramatic 3-2 win over Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Spurs were heading for defeat as they trailed 2-1 after 90 minutes, with Patson Daka and James Maddison putting the Foxes on course for the three points in their first Premier League match of 2022.

But the Dutch substitute had other ideas as he netted twice in 79 seconds deep into time added on to claim the victory which moved Spurs up to fifth in the table and firmly in the top-four race.

It was probably what they deserved as they dominated most of the game, but only had Harry Kane’s first-half effort to show for it, with the striker bagging his 18th goal in 17 games against the Foxes.

The manner of the loss was cruel on the hosts as they were seconds from winning their first league outing since downing Liverpool 1-0 on December 28 due to a number of postponements, but Spurs will not care.

The result was a big tonic for their top-four chances as they moved a point behind West Ham with three games in hand, leaving Antonio Conte unbeaten in nine league fixtures.

United win

Goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford boosted Manchester United’s top-four ambitions in a 3-1 win at Brentford.

But it was another less than convincing display from the visitors, while Cristiano Ronaldo was far from impressed at being substituted with 20 minutes left.

Teenage winger Elanga, starting only his fourth Premier League match, broke the deadlock early in the second half after Brentford had spurned a host of chances to take the lead.

England forward Greenwood then notched his first Premier League goal since October and Rashford climbed off the bench to add the third and secure a first win of 2022 for Ralf Rangnick’s side.

It was a bitter blow for Brentford, who had bossed the first league meeting between these sides since 1946 but only had Ivan Toney’s late consolation to show for it.
