Tough end to the EPL season, but I'm guessing you were resting a handful of guys. Good luck in the Champions League Final!!!

I was playing a mixed squad, I played Kane one game to see if he would get closer to 30 goals but when he didn't score against Leicester I sat him against Man United. The defense was half regular guys and half backups both games.

I didn't mind finishing behind Liverpool but I wanted to stay ahead of Arsenal.

Champions at last!

Tottenham have finally ended the trophyless drought that has haunted their club since the 1991 FA Cup. Harry Kane scored a brace for Spurs to lead the way and Heung-min Son added the third goal with only minutes remaining to start the celebrations.

Barcelona looked off their game all night. Leo Messi rarely made an impact as he was marked out by Moussa Sissoko and Davison Sanchez, daring Luis Suarez or Mousa Dembele to create chances on their own.

Spurs stuck with their game plan to attack on the counter, giving up 64% of the possession to Barca. The first goal was exactly how Tottenham planned it, a blocked shot on one end that ended with Son breaking down the wing and crossing into Kane who connected the first time to open the scoring.

The second goal was on another break, in the 48th minute Lucas Moura sent in an early cross that connected with Kane's head past the keeper who dove the wrong way. Son's goal was the only one not on a counter-attack. Son dribble at the top of the box to find an opening and hit a low, hard shot into the right corner.

Barcelona tried to force the attack early in the second half but only found a wall of Spurs defenders holding onto a two-goal lead.

The final was nearly the exact opposite of last year when Spurs lost 2-0 to Liverpool. Spurs have more possession and more shot attempts last season but ended up on the wrong score side. This side the stats were flipped and Spurs were the happy ones in the end.

"It is a dream. To play for my boyhood club and to win the biggest trophy in the world. It's all a dream." Kane said after the match collecting his player of the match award. "We have prepared so hard and to see it pay off. It's incredible."

Chelsea have won the FA Cup final over Leceister City. Frank Lampard will end his second season in charge with a trophy and a spot in the Europa League.

Leeds United have won the Championship Playoff to earn promotion into the Premier League. They will be joining league winners West Brom and runner-up Cardiff City. Norwich, Sheffield United, and Brighton have been relegated.

If only last year's final would have ended like that.

Really enjoying this and looking forward to the next season. COYS!

We don't talk about last year's final round here...... Hopefully, my next season is better than Spurs season following their final run.

Tottenham announced the signing of 23-year-old Dean Henderson. The English keeper was on loan at Sheffield United last season from his parent club, Manchester United. Henderson will compete with Paulo Gazzaniga for the backup role behind Hugo Lloris. Lloris is expected to play out this season before deciding to return to Spurs for his final year or moving onto a new club.

Henderson signed a 36,000 pound a week contract after being sold for just over 2 million pounds.
