Match Report: Tottenham 0-1 Leicester

It was a process familiar with all of the Tottenham fans inside White Hart Lane, play well and deserve to win the game only to have the opposition steal all 3 points right at the end as Leicester did.

A Robert Huth header in the second half which thundered past Lloris gave Leicester a first win in 4, whilst condemning Spurs to their 3rd Premier League defeat of the season.

Spurs were the better team throughout and had chances to go ahead throughout the game, including a great chance for Harry Kane which he could only hit the woodwork with.

If anyone was in any doubt how underserved Leicester’s win was, you only have to look at the stats to see how much Tottenham dominated the away side:

Shots: 21-10

Shots on target: 5-2

Possession: 61%-39%

However, Spurs could not capitalize on their dominance and poor marking from Spurs allowed Robert Huth to head home Christian Fuchs’ corner in the 84th minute and meant that Spurs have now lost 2 of their last 3 home Premier League games.

The result means Spurs are still in 4th, but are now only 1 point ahead of West Ham in 5th place and 7 points behind Leicester and Arsenal, who occupy the top of the Premier League table.
