Veteran Jamie Vardy stumbled with the ball and scored the equalizer early in the second half. Four minutes later, Bilal El Khannouss scored 2–1.
Leicester's turnaround gave the club important points at the bottom of the table.
A struggle that a form-weak Tottenham may be dragged into. The London club has only one point in the last seven league matches and the last victory came away against bottom-placed Southampton on December 15.
The ultimate responsibility for the results lies with coach Ange Postecoglou, who has been in the club since the summer of 2023. However, he believes in brighter times.
I see a group that gives so incredibly much. I know it will turn around, he says.
Tottenham – with Swedish duo Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall from the start – is in 15th place in the somewhat faltering table, eight points ahead of Wolverhampton and Ipswich, both of which are just below the relegation line.
A result that can be partly explained by the club's extensive injury list.
There were probably two, three players who were not 100 percent today, says Postecoglou, acknowledging that his efforts in the club are judged by the results.
That's how the world works, he says.
Richarlison arranged the lead goal for the home team, and after losing grip on the match, an offensive with a series of chances emerged. But all of them – including Kulusevski's chance – were missed.
Leicester snatched the fourth league win of the season, is up to 17 points and just above the relegation line.
