Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of securing a Premier League top-four finish suffered another blow as they were thrashed 4-1 at rampant Leicester City despite taking the lead on Saturday.
The visitors offered very little in attack after the break, with Barnes adding a fine fourth nine minutes from time as Leicester moved up to 13th on 24 points from 22 games"I think today something changed after we scored," said Tottenham assistant coach Cristian Stellini, taking media duties from manager Antonio Conte who was back after surgery.
Back-to-back league wins had kept Spurs in touch with the top four, with Bentancur's finish from a corner after 14 minutes giving them hope of climbing into fourth spot. Leicester's third was aided by more slack Spurs defending as Eric Dier stood off Iheanacho, allowing the Nigerian to pick his spot past goalkeeper Fraser Forster, standing in for injured captain Hugo Lloris.
The winger was not to be denied, however, as he finished well late on to cap a miserable afternoon for the visitors.
