What a game this was! The finale of the 2017/18 campaign, Champions League football in the bag and a nine-goal thriller to secure third place in the Premier League.
Things didn't look as rosy at Wembley when Kelechi Iheanacho pinged a shot into the top corner to hand Leicester a 3-1 lead two minutes into the second half.
Erik Lamela then inspired a turn around as we scored three goals in 11 minutes. First he tapped home Kyle Walker-Peters' cross for 3-2, then his shot cannoned home off Christian Fuchs for 3-3 before combining again with Walker-Peters for 4-3.
Leicester weren't finished though as Jamie Vardy levelled at 4-4, only for Harry Kane to add his second of the game and 41st of the campaign for the final 5-4 scoreline. Two months later, Harry captained England to the semi-final of the World Cup, and clinched the Golden Boot.
