Leicester outsmart Spurs as Postecoglou under pressure

A weary Spurs had taken the lead after 33 minutes through Richarlison, but the Foxes, who had lost their previous seven matches in the division, levelled in the 46th minute through captain Jamie Vardy.

Bilal El Khannouss made it 2-1 four minutes later with a fine 25yard effort and with limited options on the bench due to the unavailability of 10 players, Postecoglou watched Tottenham suffer another defeat.

It is six losses from their last seven matches in the Premier League for Spurs, but it was a day to savour for Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy with his team out of the relegation zone for the first time in 2025.

imageThis was a contest between two teams horribly out of form in the league and while Spurs welcomed back Pape Sarr, they suffered a fresh blow with James Maddison not fit enough to face his former club to further deplete the hosts.
