The 3-1 score line does slightly flatter Spurs as they were my no means the completely dominant side in this match. Spurs enjoyed the majority of possession in the first half and went in at half time 1-0 up thanks to Davinson Sanchez’s first Tottenham goal.
Leicester looked brighter after half time and were rewarded for their efforts in the form of a penalty. Jamie Vardy immediately came off the bench, only to have his spot-kick saved by the Spurs captain, Hugo Lloris.
Minutes later, Christian Eriksen capitalised on a poor Leicester clearance with a deft finish to make it 2-0. Leicester most certainly found their second wind and continued to trouble Tottenham and forced them to make some defensive substitutions.
Heung Min Son once again sealed all three points for Tottenham right at the death.
