Watch: Sports anchor announces Tottenham won the Premier League
Reuters
Whoever wrote this particular script for Monday's edition of SportsCenter has some explaining to do.
After Leicester City was crowned Premier League champion by virtue of Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Chelsea earlier in the day, ESPN was ready to go live to England for reaction from a host of euphoric Foxes' fans.
There's only one problem: the teleprompter had a minor (read: enormous) error, prompting the anchor to unwittingly announce, in the most excited tone, that Tottenham had won the league title.
