Sometimes the best answer can be right under your nose and you don't even realise it.
Leicester City have shocked the footballing world as they sit atop the Premier League table with just a handful of games remaining thanks to the goals of Jamie Vardy. Their biggest rivals in achieving an unlikely title are Tottenham Hotspur, who have been inspired by the phenomenal performances of Harry Kane as of late. On Saturday night, both strikers found the back of the net in superb fashion as England staged a remarkable comeback against world champions Germany. But it's not so long ago that both players were struggling to even make the starting XI of a vital lower league fixture, as they found themselves sitting beside each other on the bench during Leicester's defeat to Watford in the Championship play-off semi-final second leg. Kane was brought on as a sub after an hour, while Vardy watched the whole game from the bench as Troy Deeney fired the Hornets to a 3-2 aggregate win.
