An explosion of two goals in the opening of five minutes of Leicester City sentenced Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-1 loss at home on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs had taken a lead of the first half through Richarlison, but was punished for an immediate resumption from a double fast by Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss.
Leicester's victory allowed them to climb outside the lifting area, while Tottenham remains sculpted in the depths of the 15th place, closer to the dripping line than top half of the table.
How was the game unfolded
Tottenham Premier League Leicester matches have average more goals than any other match played regularly in the competition history.
It was not immediately clear that the last repetition of this duel would follow the lawsuit. A pair of porous reargards allowed each spacious room of the canter forward, however the inability that penetrated both dresses desperately outside the shape had also infected the first line. Heung-mine boy Hit Leicester posting base within 20 minutes of opening, but the foxes were not without their failed forms ahead.
Richarlison broke the blockage shortly after the half -hour sign. Pedro Porro was given northern London freedom to beat on a clumsy cross, letting the ball roll before pulling back and swing a distribution on the Brazilian peroxide head in the posterior post.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was half empty at the time Vardy ceased Leicester level 58 seconds after resumption. Many of the spurs formation may also have been in the longest grass in Europe. Radu Dragus and Ben Davies had made it in the field, but the two hoped with hopelessly on the low cross of Bobby de Cordova-Reid, which Vardy united over the line.
They had been barely three minutes before El Khannouss complicated Tottenham's problems. Waving through a cheekbone shirt that seemed to exist perennial on the edge of the spurs box, LeicesterThe attack of the offensive midfielder unclearly has bowed a low attempt in the lower corner through the base of the post.
Spurs, the third scorers of the division, were without open characteristic as they followed the game. Postecoglou could not be accused of inactivity, reorganizing his midfield line and the line forward, shortly after he fell, but an attack led by the boy through the middle was barely forced Jakub Stollarczyk in a significant savings.
The 13th loss of the Tottenham League of the season, more than they suffered throughout the entire Postecoglou debut campaign, was greeted with a fans who had suffered until the last whistle.

Tottenham are almost in joke at this point. After giving Everton and arsenal Some of the much needed relief, the spurs gave Leicester the first flight of the first year of the year after a period of seven consecutive losses.
While the same jokes 'Dr. Tottenham' will reopen, this was a new nadir for the increasingly unfortunate Postecoglou outfit. The back line was just as convincing as never before, the contrast of Pedro Porro's reckless overestimation, and the frozen fear of a lead center return duo was almost shocking to see. However, the weakness of the second half from the front line was a new evolution, completely unwanted.
The boy's relocation in the middle did not leave him marinated on his side, but somehow approaching him closer to the intention to ensure that he was more isolated. After receiving 42 touches during the first 55 minutes he spent outside, Tottenham's Talismanic Captain was limited to only 11 (nonsense) interactions with the ball for more than half an hour. None of which was a goal attempt.
Creativity so often provided by a injured James Madison was significantly absent as the spurs were able to accumulate only two shots in the second half – not even causing any concern for stollarczyk, which was able to celebrate Accepted for the first time for the first time in his Premier League career.
The jubilee noise from the end of the departure at the celebration of the EL Khannous winner was sank by aggressive boos from the rest of the land. The boiling crowd exploded in spontaneous calls of “We want levy out!” In many cases throughout the second part.
Postecoglou tactical decisions were also forcibly questioned, Leicester Stolarczyk's long -time goalkeeper became a pantomime and even spurs players were not spared an angry explosion from an increasingly toxic atmosphere. Porto's insistence on shooting from the narrower corners soon wearing thin.
Tottenham manager has expressed his disappointments With the club hierarchy this week, claiming that the lack of new arrivals in January would be “playing with fire”. Levy, after he has made it quite clear over his two decades at the top of the spurs, will not remove himself. This luxury may not lie on the posttecoglou for much longer.
“You get a little stick during the game,” Vardy mumbled the last time he came up against Tottenham. “As long as they can get it when I give them again. It's all good.” The spurs ultimately had bigger issues to worry than the overall Torment of Premier League, who nevertheless enjoyed himself.
After eventually knocking Leicester's level, Vardy followed Tottenham's failed cleaning with a mistake before making contact delay, the evergreen veteran repeated his fraud by The opening of the season gameshowing the Premier League symbol on the sleeve to remember everyone in northern London for their personal achievements and their failures.
Vardy's signature barbets can be disconnected from its extraordinary longevity. The proud high -flight champion is only the fifth player aged 37 or more who has directly contributed to ten or more goals in a single Premier League season.
The last time Richarlison launched a Premier League game for Tottenham, he was lined up for one side sitting within the five best of the division. Leading the line for a team that started on Sunday 15th, the Brazilian scored his long -awaited return with a goal – his first on the highest flight since May.
Richarlison's return to fitness came just like Postecoglou lost Dominic Solanke in a knee injury for about six weeks. Tottenham's coach was inclined to minimize expectations about his nine pre-game number, warning: “He has not played for a long time, so he won't be sharper, but reality is not if something does not change that he has to play. “
Ancestry Everton Forward was sharp enough to find the room in the Leicester air line, wandering between Jannik Vestergaard's duo and Wout Faes to smell from the near distance.
The decision to remove Richarlison within ten minutes of resumption was received with a loudness of removal from a crowd that did not become happier.
