Harry Kane wrote another chapter in his storybook season as the Tottenham striker rescued a 2-2 draw with the last kick of a pulsating London derby against West Ham on Sunday.
Mauricio Pochettino's team had fallen 2-0 behind at White Hart Lane as the Hammers struck through Cheikhou Kouyate and Diafra Sakho, but an error by goalkeeper Adrian allowed Danny Rose to halve the deficit with nine minutes left.
You can't put your hands on anyone today otherwise they will go to ground and make the referee's mind up
And when Kane was fouled in the area by Alex Song deep into second-half stoppage time, he kept his composure to smash in the rebound after his spot kick was saved. It was Kane's 24th goal of the season in all competitions.
"When we went 2-0 down, I didn't see one head drop or anyone look disappointed," Kane told BT Sport.
"We knew that we had half an hour and we said if we got one goal, another would come. We left it late again but that showed the character in the squad."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was happy with the draw. "We showed character and personality," he said. "It was a big point for us after being 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go. We are proud."
