For Tottenham Hotspur fans, the final day of the Premier League season was a dreaded affair.
From the league's inception in 1992 until the start of the 21st century, victory seemed elusive, casting a shadow over their season finales.
However, Spurs' fortunes changed in 2000, as goals from Darren Anderton, Tim Sherwood and Stephen Carr saw them cruise to a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at White Hart Lane.
Ahead of Tottenham's final fixture of the 2023/24 season against Sheffield United on Sunday, VAVEL takes a look at the Lilywhites' top five final fixtures of the Premier League seasons.
5. Leeds United 1-4 Spurs - 2022/23
Unlike Elland Road suggests, we did not predict a riot in this match, but we certainly got one on the pitch from the Lilywhites.
Perhaps we would have gotten one from the Spurs fans if they had known they were watching club legend Kane play in a Tottenham shirt for the last time before his sale to Bayern Munich.
A well-worked move orchestrated by the trio of Kane, son and Pedro Porro ended in Kane firing home to open the scoring.
The Spanish right-back was again involved in the North London outfit's second. He capitalised on a harsh deflection from Pascal Struijk's leg and rifled the ball into the far corner beyond fellow compatriot Joel Robles.
Winger Jack Harrison sent Elland Road into a frenzy as he netted a response for Sam Allardyce's side, keeping their Premier League survival dreams alive.
Porro was the heartbeat of another Spurs goal after he bulldozed his way up the pitch before teeing up Kane for a simple finish and his 30th goal of the campaign.
Finally, Moura, who was making his last appearance in a Spurs shirt, used his lightning speed and tricky footwork to float past the Leeds defenders before poking the ball past Robles to send off his Tottenham career in style.
As a result, Leeds United were relegated to the EFL Championship
4. Leicester City 2-4 Spurs - 2020/2021
Spurs were competing for a spot in the new Europa Conference League competition, while the Foxes were looking to secure their place in the Champions League following a campaign heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brendan Rodgers' side broke the deadlock early in the match after VAR awarded them a penalty as it deemed that Alderweireld tripped Vardy inside the box.
Vardy went on to send Lloris the wrong way.
Kane responded for the North London outfit when he latched onto a loose ball inside the Leicester area before firing a menacing volley down the mouth of the goal.
Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez clumsily bundled Vardy inside the box to gift the striker another attempt from the spot.
Again, the striker made no mistake burying his penalty kick for his double.
The Lilywhites pulled level from a corner that came off 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel last, who was distracted by Sanchez.
A brace from forward Gareth Bale in the game's dying stages quashed Leicester's Champions League hopes as Spurs secured a 4-2 win at the King Power Stadium.
Kane completed a magnificent double swoop of the awards for the most goals scored and the most assists in the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.
3. Norwich City 0-5 Spurs - 2021/22
The 2021-22 Premier League campaign finale was huge for Antonio Conte's side as they looked to secure a Champions League spot over North London rivals Arsenal.
The Lilywhites claimed the lead within 16 minutes at Carrow Road as midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur unselfishly squared the ball to winger Dejan Kulusevski to finish past a stranded Tim Krul.
Krul was caught off guard as his sloppy pass from the back found Bentancur before he set up a Kane header for the second.
The Dutch goalkeeper soon redeemed himself after making a brilliant stop to deny the Golden Boot-chasing Heung-Min Son from close range.
Kulusevski curled an excellent effort into the far side of Krul's goal to add to the Canaries' misery.
Son tucked the ball home for his side's fourth following a pass from Moura to bolster his bid for the precious accolade of being the top goalscorer in the Premier League.
The South Korean then displayed a moment of magic as he rifled a shot from distance into the bottom right corner of the Canaries' goal to ensure that he secured the shared Golden Boot with Mohammed Salah.
2. Spurs 5-4 Leicester City - 2017-18
Something gives me the feeling that Tottenham loves a dramatic campaign finale with the Foxes...
Who does not love a nine-goal thriller on the Premier League season finale at the famous Wembley Stadium?
Especially after an action-packed game with eight goals the year before.
The final game of the 2017/2018 campaign would have transformed many Tottenham fans into bundles of nerves as the team looked to secure a top-three spot in the table.
The game got off to a rapid start after Jamie Vardy's flashed header rippled the back of the net, giving Claude Puel's side an early lead.
Kane replied in quick fashion after leading a blistering counterattack, which winger Lucas Moura started, before firing past Eldin Jakupovic between the sticks.
However, ten minutes later, Mahrez fired the Foxes into the lead.
A brilliant one-handed save from Hugo Lloris denied Demarai Gray from close range, keeping the Lilywhites in the game heading into the interval.
A screamer into the top-right corner from Kelechi Iheanacho extended the deficit to two goals, creating a mountain for Pochettino's side to climb.
However, Spurs did not give up and clawed into the Foxes' two-goal lead.
Right back Kyle Walker-Peters teed up winger Erik Lamela, who was lurking inside the box before he poked the ball home.
The Lilywhites pulled themselves level after Lamela was found lurking inside the box again. His following attempt at goal found the back of the net after taking a deflection off the body of Leicester's Christian Fuchs.
Spurs finally took the lead after a moment of de ja vu.
Walker-Peters poked the ball into the centre of the box before the Argentinian winger was there to net his brace.
Puel's outfit made the game four goals a piece after Riyah Mahrez played Vardy in behind, which led to the striker thundering his shot into the roof of the goal.
Kane proved to be the hero that the sea of Tottenham fans inside Wembley cried out for.
He danced his way inside of the box before curling a lovely shot beyond the diving Jakupovic to seal the win for Spurs in a spectacular season finale.
1. Hull City 1-7 Spurs - 2016-17
This Premier League season finale was memorable for Spurs fans. Following the obliteration of Hull City at the MKM Stadium, their team finished runners-up in the 2016/17 campaign.
Of course, before the game, the club would have been frustrated after losing the league title to fierce rivals Chelsea. However, they left off some of that steam against a Hull side whose relegation to the Championship had already been confirmed.
Harry Kane propelled his side into a comfortable early lead as he bagged a brace within the opening 13 minutes of the game.
Midfielder Dele Alli added to the Tigers' first-half woes on the brink of half-time as he drilled the ball home past the helpless defenders.
Sam Clucas reinstilled some positivity into his teammates and home fans by scoring a consolation goal to reduce his side's three-goal deficit.
The Hull reply did not muzzle the Lilywhites' ruthless attack, as Victor Wanyama etched his name on the scoresheet with a header at the back post.
Kane was let loose behind the Tigers' back line before punishing them for his hat trick, which secured him the 16/17 Premier League Golden Boot award.
Defenders Ben Davies and Toby Alderweireld joined in on Tottenham's fun after netting goals to ensure Marco Silva's outfit were dead and buried.
