90'
KANE EDGES IT WITH DOUBLE STRIKE
Two goals from Harry Kane helped Tottenham to an incredible 5-4 win over Leicester at Wembley. Jamie Vardy opened the scoring in only the fourth minute with a flicked header from a corner, but the lead lasted just three minutes, Kane bursting onto a Lucas Moura pass and beating Eldin Jakupovic at the near post. Riyad Mahrez slammed home a loose ball before half time, but there were a flurry of goals after the restart; Kelechi Ihenacho found the top corner with a super strike, before Erik Lamela tapped in a Lucas Moura pass, and the unfortunate Christian Fuchs then turned another Lamela shot into his own net. Lamela scored his second with another simple finish after 64 minutes, leaving the Foxes to equalise as Vardy slammed a shot into the roof of the net on the break. Kane had the last laugh, however, turning Hamza Choudhury and bending a delightful strike into the far corner. A goal worthy of securing automatic Champions League qualification.
90'
FULL TIME TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 5 LEICESTER CITY 4
The final whistle of an incredible game confirms third place for Spurs, who have managed a 5-4 win over Leicester today.
90'
LAST CHANCE
Maguire flicks a long goal kick on to Vardy, whose half-volley sails way over the bar this time.
90'
TEN MEN
Walker-Peters lands awkwardly on his arm when tackling Diabate and has to receive attention from the physios. Spurs have used all three subs and may have to play the last minutes with ten men.
90'
LLORIS SAVES THE DAY
Silva picks out the run of Diabate with a clipped pass over the defence, and Lloris has to charge from his line and dive in with a decisive glove to push the ball away from the substitute.
90'
YELLOW CARD
Silva screams at the ref after a free kick is awarded against him, rightly picking up a booking for dissent.
90'
Yellow Card
Adrien Silva (Leicester City)
88'
WRIGGLE ROOM
Rose somehow wriggles his way between two men to pull a low ball across goal, but Kane just fails to adjust his body in time to convert it.
85'
Substitution
Harvey Barnes (on). Kelechi Iheanacho (off). (Leicester City)
85'
SUBSTITUTION
20-year-old midfielder Harvey Barnes replaces Iheanacho.
85'
WHAT GOES UP DOES NOT COME DOWN
Kane steps up to take the free kick and gets his shot over the wall but fails entirely to make it come down again.
9'
MAGUIRE IN THE WAY
Harry Maguire's perfect positioning is required to stop Walker-Peters' low cross from the right from reaching the lurking Eriksen.
83'
Yellow Card
Hamza Choudhury (Leicester City)
83'
YELLOW CARD
Choudhury hauls down Rose right on the 18-yard line, earning himself a booking and conceding a free kick in a perilous position.
78'
Substitution
Davinson Sanchez (on). Erik Lamela (off). (Tottenham Hotspur)
78'
SUBSTITUTION
Davinson Sanchez is sent on to shore things up, with Lamela making way.
78'
GREAT BLOCK
Rose does brilliantly to dive in and block Iheanacho's shot at point-blank range, diverting it safely at Lloris. The ball is cleared only as far as Fuchs, who gets nowhere near with his own effort.
76'
Goal
Harry Kane. Assist by Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur)
76'
GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM
This game is ridiculous. Danny Rose passes back to HARRY KANE, who easily turns away from Hamza Choudhury and bends a beauty of a strike into the far corner from just inside the box.
73'
Goal
Jamie Vardy. Assist by Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)
73'
GOAL!!! LEICESTER
Another penalty appeal is turned down as Wes Morgan blocks off Harry Kane right in front of goal, and Leicester take full advantage. Riyad Mahrez carries the ball 70 yards and plays a simple slide-rule pass between defenders for JAMIE VARDY, who comes up with his trademark hammer into the roof of the net.
72'
NO PENALTY
Adrien Silva falls as he chases Danny Rose to the byline and knocks the left back over inside the box, but Craig Pawson rules it accidental.
71'
NO RESISTANCE
Eriksen saunters inside from the right flank as Iheanacho fails to close him down, the Dane eventually slamming an effort three yards wide from just outside the box.
69'
MAHREZ DENIED
Fousseni Diabate takes one touch too many to shoot himself but does manage to poke the ball to Mahrez on the right of the area, the Algerian producing a lacklustre curled effort that Lloris saves with ease.
68'
ALDERWEIRELD IN A SPIN
An Eriksen free kick level with the penalty area flicks off Vicente Iborra and falls to Toby Alderweireld, who has to spin on the spot and can only fire a crisp shot into the side-netting.
66'
ANTICLIMAX
Riyad Mahrez bamboozles Christian Eriksen with a series of stepovers before laying the ball off to Iheanacho, whose disappointing tame strike is easily saved by Hugo Lloris.
61'
Substitution
Fousseni Diabate (on). Demarai Gray (off). (Leicester City)
61'
SUBSTITUTION
That proves to be Gray's last action as the forward makes way for Fousseni Diabate.
7'
GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM
Danny Simpson loses the ball cheaply to Lucas Moura, who immediately plays the ball forward to HARRY KANE. England's World Cup hope sprints into the left-hand channel and beats Eldin Jakupovic with ease at the keeper's near post. That makes it 29 Premier League goals for the season.
60'
Goal
Erik Lamela. Assist by Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham Hotspur)
60'
GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM
Incredible stuff here at Wembley! Spurs break and Lucas Moura passes out to Kyle Walker-Peters on the right via a weak attempt at a block by Demarai Gray. The youngster makes it look easy with a pass inside to ERIK LAMELA, who taps home from close range.
56'
Substitution
Hamza Choudhury (on). Danny Simpson (off). (Leicester City)
56'
MAGUIRE ON THE VOLLEY
A short free kick routine releases Vardy to cross to the back post, where Harry Maguire volleys into the ground and wide. He really should have hit the target there.
56'
SUBSTITUTION
Impressive young midfielder Hamza Choudhury comes on for Danny Simpson as Claude Puel presses resources forward.
6'
JAKUPOVIC ON HIS TOES
Christian Eriksen looks for Harry Kane with a low, bouncing ball into the penalty area from the left, but Eldin Jakupovic springs off his line to get there first.
55'
Yellow Card
Victor Wanyama (Tottenham Hotspur)
55'
YELLOW CARD
Wanyama tugs back the sprinting Iheanacho by the shirt to earn himself a booking.
84'
Substitution
Son Heung-Min (on). Moussa Sissoko (off). (Tottenham Hotspur)
84'
SUBSTITUTION
Moussa Sissoko makes way for Heung-Min Son for the final few minutes.
74'
Substitution
Dele Alli (on). Lucas Moura (off). (Tottenham Hotspur)
74'
SUBSTITUTION
Mauricio Pochettino calls for Dele Alli, who replaces Lucas Moura.
53'
Own Goal
Christian Fuchs (Tottenham Hotspur)
53'
GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM
Danny Rose gets free on the left and picks out Lucas Moura with a low cross. The winger backheels the ball to Erik Lamela, whose close-range effort is heading wide until it bounces off CHRISTIAN FUCHS' knee to fly past Eldin Jakupovic and into the net. Breathless stuff here.
49'
Goal
Erik Lamela. Assist by Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham Hotspur)
49'
GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM
Spurs hit back at top speed as Harry Kane slips a pass to Lucas Moura on his right, and the Brazilian slides a low ball across goal for ERIK LAMELA to tap home. The goalscorer just about stayed onside to give his team a chance once more.
47'
Goal
Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City)
47'
GOAL!!! LEICESTER
It's not looking good for Spurs' hopes of third. KELECHI IHEANACHO seizes on Eric Dier's weak header and saunters forward, holding off Victor Wanyama with ease, before arrowing a sublime finish into the top corner from just outside the box.
44'
LIVERPOOL WINNING
Liverpool are currently 2-0 up at Brighton, which means Tottenham would have to qualify for the Champions League. Plenty of motivation then.
41'
MAGUIRE THE WALL
Again it's the superb Harry Maguire who lunges in to stop Moussa Sissoko from enjoying a clear-cut chance.
38'
DODGY KEEPING
Jakupovic fumbles a bouncing Eriksen cross and almost gifts Kane a goal, but Maguire reacts quickly to stretch and knock the ball behind.
36'
VARDY HITS ONE
Iheanacho rolls a forward pass to Vardy, who spins and runs at Alderweireld before blasting something of a wild effort high and wide from 20 yards.
33'
TOP TACKLE
Alderweireld pulls off a perfectly-timed hook tackle to prevent Iheanacho from running through on goal. That was a world-class intervention.
30'
STRAIGHT AT THE KEEPER
Vardy wins a corner from Dier with some determined running. Gray hangs the set-piece up to the back post, where Maguire climbs above Alderweireld but can only head down and straight at the goalkeeper.
26'
WHAT A SAVE
How on earth did Hugo Lloris save that? Leicester rip through Spurs with a lightning counter-attack, and Vardy sets up Demarai Gray for what looks a certain goal, only for Lloris to tip it over the bar at point-blank range. The corner makes its way all the way to the unmarked Maguire at the back stick, but the centre back can only steer an awkward half-volley wide.
24'
UNLUCKY DEFLECTION
Moura turns away from Vicente Iborra and unleashes a powerful low 20-yard strike that deflects off Maguire to spin not far wide.
23'
DIER DENIED
Eric Dier makes a run to the near post to apply a flicked header to an Eriksen corner, only to see Jakupovic palm the effort away.
19'
LONG RANGER
Victor Wanyama decides to try his luck from all of 30 yards, producing a lacklustre strike that slides comfortably wide.
16'
Goal
Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)
16'
GOAL!!! LEICESTER
Adrien Silva and Jamie Vardy work their way into the area with some neat interplay. Kyle Walker-Peters nicks the ball from the latter, but it falls straight to RIYAD MAHREZ, who arrows a first-time finish into the corner of the net. What a game this is proving.
4'
GOAL!!! LEICESTER
A foul by Kyle Walker-Peters out on the Leicester left gifts the visitors a free kick, which Riyad Mahrez steps up to take. The playmaker skims his cross to the near post, where JAMIE VARDY runs across several men to flick a perfect header inside the back post. What a start for the Foxes!
7'
Goal
Harry Kane. Assist by Lucas Moura (Tottenham Hotspur)
4'
Goal
Jamie Vardy. Assist by Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)
46'
SECOND HALF
The teams are back out and the second half is underway, with neither manager having made any changes at the break.
45'
HALF TIME TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 1 LEICESTER CITY 2
We've reached the break here at Wembley, where Leicester are leading 2-1 at the end of a thrilling first half.
45'
CLASSIC COMBO PUT FOXES AHEAD
Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have proved the heroes again for Leicester with a goal each to leave the Foxes 2-1 up at the break. Vardy opened the scoring in only the fourth minute with a flicked header from a corner, but the lead lasted only three minutes, Harry Kane bursting onto a Lucas Moura pass and beating Eldin Jakupovic at the near post. Both sides wasted some glorious chances, with Hugo Lloris producing one stunning save from Demarai Gray, but Mahrez made the difference, slamming home a loose ball after Kyle Walkers-Peters had tackled Kelechi Iheanacho. Spurs need to get back on top because Liverpool are currently leading Brighton and as it stands will steal third place. Stay tuned for all the action after the break.
13'
END TO END STUFF
There's chances at both ends; first Toby Alderweireld shoots straight into the arms of Jakupovic from the edge of the box, before Kelechi Iheanacho steals the ball from Sanchez and drags a low effort several yards wide.
1'
KICK OFF
We're underway for the final game of the Premier League season here at Wembley.

LEICESTER TEAM NEWS
Claude Puel makes two changes to the side that beat Arsenal, both in midfield, where Vicente Iborra and Demarai Gray replace Hamza Choudhury and Fousseni Diabate. Marc Albrighton is suspended, while a colossal injury list includes Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Wilfred Ndidi and Shinji Okazaki.
0'
TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS
Mauricio Pochettino has taken the chance to select some fringe players; at the back Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies and the injured Kieran Trippier make way for Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker-Peters, while in midfield Dele Alli, Heung-Min Son and Victor Wanyama, who has a slight knock, make way for Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and Eric Dier. Serge Aurier and Mousa Dembele have failed late fitness tests.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V LEICESTER CITY
There isn't a whole lot to play for in the final game of the season for Tottenham and Leicester, but a win for either side could still mean a higher Premier League finish and therefore an increased haul of prize money. If Liverpool win today Spurs will need to do the same to stay in third place and thereby avoid having to qualify for next season's Champions League, while three points for the Foxes could see them leapfrog Everton to take eighth, not to mention give beleaguered boss Claude Puel a chance of retaining his job into next season. Join me, Luke Ostler, at 3pm BST for all the action from Wembley.
