Once again, Tottenham were hampered by poor finishing and unfocused defending.
Leicester City’s English striker #09 Jamie Vardy shakes hands with Tottenham Hotspur’s Greek-Australian Head Coach Ange Postecoglou after the English Premier League football match at King Power Stadium in Leicester, central England on Monday. – The game finished 1-1.
Vardy made Tottenham pay for their erratic finishing with a typically predatory header, capping his surprise appearance just days after he had been ruled out by Steve Cooper after suffering a pre-season injury.The 37-year-old has now scored nine Premier League goals in 17 appearances against Tottenham, who trudged off wondering how they had failed to demolish Leicester during their dominant first-half display.
“It was an issue we had last year as well. We need to keep working hard and be a bit more ruthless in front of goal. At times we made poor decisions. Amid reports the Foxes could face a points deductions for breaking financial rules, new boss Cooper needs to hit the ground running if they are to avoid relegation and this gritty display was an encouraging start.“Tottenham are a really good team but we have them too much respect. We started getting after them and it changed the momentum.
Maddison almost provided another assist moments later with a superb cross that Johnson fired narrowly wide. Unhinged far too easily, Tottenham’s defenders stood statuesque as Vardy was left unmarked in the six-yard box to head in Abdul Fatawu’s cross.
