Tottenham HotspurWelcome to a new series for 2022/23 - 1 from 30 - as we continue to mark 30 years of the Premier League.
English football's new dawn kicked-off on the weekend of 15/16 August, 1992 as the FA Premier League replaced Barclays League Division One, ending a structure of Division One-Four that had been in place since 1958. Thirty years on, the Premier League is amongst the most watched and most valuable sporting leagues in the world.
In this new series, 1 from 30, we'll feature a match from 30 years of the Premier League that corresponds with our next fixture. Next up, a recent classic and nine-goal thriller against Leicester City in May, 2018.
Spurs 5-4 Leicester City - 13 May, 2018
What a game this was! The finale of the 2017/18 campaign, a nine-goal thriller to secure third place in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League football in the bag again.
The Foxes started brightly and Jamie Vardy opened the scoring on four minutes. Harry Kane levelled three minutes later but the visitors were soon in front again through Rihad Mahrez and things were looking bleak at Wembley when Kelechi Iheanacho pinged a shot into the top corner for 3-1 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 on the hour.
Leicester weren't finished though as Vardy levelled at 4-4, only for Harry Kane to add his second of the game, 30th in the Premier League and 41st of the campaign on 76 minutes for the final 5-4 scoreline.
Two months later, Harry captained England to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and clinched the Golden Boot.
