The confirmation of Leicester as Premier League champions was not the only miracle seen at Stamford Bridge. How 22 players, especially those wearing white, remained on the pitch was also a curiosity.
Nine Spurs players received yellow cards from referee Mark Clattenburg as their side drew 2-2 against Chelsea.
It was a record number of bookings for one team in a Premier League game.
9 - Tottenham are the first team in Premier League history to have nine players booked in one game. Naughty.

Following a clash between Danny Rose and Willian, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino stepped on to the pitch to separate the two. Players from both sides then got involved.
It was a melee which saw Moussa Dembele eye-gouge Diego Costa. He received no punishment at the time.
On Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher felt it was an incident for which Dembele should be retrospectively punished.
It is shocking.
The man he [Dembele] is up against, Costa, how many times has he been seen doing things like this? That's the end of Dembele's season, there is no doubt about that.
He [assistant ref] can't not have seen that.
There is no doubt Mark Clattenburg has been lenient and I don't mind officials being lenient in big games. But incidents like that, the linesman is looking straight at it and he froze and has bottled his decision.
Presumably, had he seen the incident, Clattenburg would have told Dembele, in Nigel Owens-style, that 'this isn't rugby'.
