Leicester stun Spurs with comeback victory

LONDON. โ€” Tottenham Hotspur suffered a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat as Leicester City completed a stunning comeback to climb out of the relegation zone.

The Foxes, trailing 1-0 at half-time, scored twice in four minutes after the break through Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss to end a run of seven consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Brazil striker Richarlison had opened the scoring for Spurs just after the half-hour mark, heading in a brilliant cross from defender Pedro Porro.

Leicester captain Vardy equalised from close range a minute into the second half when goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky failed to deal with Bobby De Cordova-Reidโ€™s cross.

Ruud van Nistelrooyโ€™s side were ahead four minutes later when midfielder El Khannouss curled in a fantastic effort from 25 yards into the bottom corner.

Spurs poured forward in search of an equaliser but their failure to find one means Ange Postecoglouโ€™s side have won just one of their past 11 matches in the Premier League, leaving them in 15th.

Leicesterโ€™s win lifts the Foxes into 17th, one point above Wolves – who drop into the bottom three as a result. โ€” BBC Sport.
