Tottenham Hotspur’s woes deepened as they suffered a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat, losing 2-1 to Leicester City, who staged a remarkable second-half comeback to move out of the relegation zone.
Richarlison gave Spurs the lead in the first half, heading home a superb cross from Pedro Porro. However, the Foxes turned the game around after the break with two goals in four minutes.
Jamie Vardy equalized before Bilal El Khannouss completed the turnaround, ending Leicester’s seven-match Premier League losing streak.
Leicester captain Vardy equalised from close range a minute into the second half when goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky failed to deal with Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s cross.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’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 Postecoglou’s side have won just one of their past 11 matches in the Premier League, leaving them in 15th.
Leicester’s win lifts the Foxes into 17th, one point above Wolves – who drop into the bottom three as a result.
