That's all from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City
Following victory to celebrate Conte's 100th Premier League game, Spurs next face a tough trip to Anfield, before the potentially pivotal North London derby on May 12. Leicester, meanwhile, will have all eyes on the Eternal City, as they take on Roma for a place in the Europa Conference League final on Thursday.

With a comprehensive win over distracted opponents, Tottenham take three points that lift them into the top four - for now, at least, as arch-rivals Arsenal are in action later. Under Conte, Spurs are comfortable conceding most of the possession, and they did so today while proving to be much the sharper side in the final third. A lame Leicester showing was ultimately punished by the combination of second-half substitute Kulusevski and the irrepressible Son, and the hunt for Champions League qualification goes on.

JUST WIDE! Vardy flashes a header past the far post, after his fellow substitute Tielemans threads a cross into the box from the right-hand side. That was a good chance to at least snatch a consolation.

Though they have had most of the ball over the past few minutes, Leicester look every inch a defeated side, as they shift possession rather aimlessly around the pitch. Tottenham are just sitting back and soaking it up - they know three points are just moments away now.
