Gylfi Sigurdsson grabbed a late equalizer as Tottenham twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Chelsea on Wednesday, leaving the race for the final two Champions League spots wide open.

Spurs' chances of finishing in the English Premier League's top four is out of their hands now, though, with the result keeping them fifth in the table behind Chelsea and Arsenal with two games left.

Ramires' 39th-minute goal looked to have earned Chelsea three points that would virtually have secured the team a place in Europe's top competition for an 11th straight season, but Sigurdsson placed a curling shot into the corner in the 80th.

Emmanuel Adebayor's superb finish in the 26th following a run from inside his own half canceled out Oscar's opening goal in the 11th.
