On 16 September 2001 at White Hart Lane, Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea leave with a 3-2 that somehow still feels unfinished.
Just before the break a midfielder rounds Neil Sullivan to the byline and the cross is headed in at the back post for the opener. Teddy Sheringham levels after the restart, initially denied by the keeper and then burying the rebound, and for a stretch the hosts look like ending their Premiership hoodoo against the Blues.
Instead Steve Dunn awards a hotly contested penalty when Ledley King is judged to have brought the striker down — Spurs rage, the spot-kick is converted, and the Lane turns ugly.
Sheringham's 100th Premiership goal in the last minute of normal time looks to have salvaged a point, only for a Chelsea midfielder to see red for lashing out at Chris Perry and, deep in stoppage time, a centre-back to head home from a late corner.
Glenn Hoddle fumes at the referee; Ranieri pockets the win with ten men. Chelsea finish 2001-02 sixth; Spurs ninth.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
