Manchester City finish on a high as Sergio Aguero enjoys perfect farewell

Jamie Vardy converted two penalties to give Leicester leads in the crucial match and, with top-four rivals Chelsea losing 2-1 at Aston Villa, that would have been enough for a Champions League berth.

But a 76th-minute own goal by keeper Kasper Schmeichel gifted Spurs an equaliser and Gareth Bale ended the contest with two late strikes.

England striker Harry Kane scored Spurs' first equaliser to take his league tally to 23 for the season and win the Golden Boot award.

Bio

Born in Dibba, Sharjah in 1972.
He is the eldest among 11 brothers and sisters.
He was educated in Sharjah schools and is a graduate of UAE University in Al Ain.
He has written poetry for 30 years and has had work published in local newspapers.

What is 'Soft Power'?

Soft power was first mentioned in 1990 by former US Defence Secretary Joseph Nye. 
He believed that there were alternative ways of cultivating support from other countries, instead of achieving goals using military strength. 
Soft power is, at its root, the ability to convince other states to do what you want without force. 
This is traditionally achieved by proving that you share morals and values.
