In the first five minutes of the second half of Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur condemned a 2-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs had taken the lead through Richarlison in the first half, but was punished for a cumbersome restart by a fast double by Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss.
The victory for Leicester enabled them to climb from the relegation zone, while Tottenham remains anchored in the depths of the 15th place, closer to the dotted line than in the upper half of the table.
How the game unfolds
Tottenham’s Premier League games with Leicester have achieved an average of more goals than any other regular game in the history of the competition.
It was not immediately obvious that the latest iteration of this duel would follow the example. A few porous recipients provided each side that was adequately galloped forward. The inability, both desperate outfits outside the shape, also infected the front lines. Son Heung-Min hit the base of Leicester’s posts within the first 20 minutes, but the foxes were not without their own strikers.
Richarlison broke the Deadlock shortly after half an hour. Pedro Porro received the freedom from North London to whip in a lavish cross, and let the ball take a standstill before he stepped down and a delivery to the peroxide head of the Brazilian at the rear post.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was half empty 58 seconds after restarting Leicester Lecester. Many of the Spurs lists can also be in the longest bar in Europe. Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies had made it onto the field, but both hopelessly hit Bobby de Cordova-Reid’s low cross, which Vardy bundled over the line.
Barely three minutes had passed before El Khannoussus Tottenhams improve problems. Leicester’s attacking midfielder, who seemed to be constantly on the edge of the Spurs Box, rolled a little into the lower corner over the base of the post.
Spurs, the third goal scorers of the division, were atypical dull when they followed the game. Postecoglou could not be accused of passivity shortly after he had fallen back to redesign his midfield and his forward line, but an attack that was hardly led by his son through the middle Stolarczyk to a meaningful rescue.
Tottenhams 13th League -League of the season, more than they had suffered throughout the entire debut campaign of Postecoglous, was greeted by the fans who had suffered to the last whistle with a choir of angry boos.
Take a look at the player reviews of Tottenham 1-2 Leicester here.
At that time Tottenham is almost on the joke. After Spurs Everton and Arsenal had given an urgently needed rest, he brought Leicester her first top win of the year after seven defeats in a row.
While the same “Dr. Tottenham” Cokes are woken up, this was a new Nadir for the increasingly unfortunate outfit of Postecoglous. The backline was not convincing as always, the contrast of Pedro Porros ruthless exaggeration and the frozen fear of a lead-foot back duo could almost be observed. However, the weak second half of the front was a new, completely unwanted development.
The shift of his son through the middle did not let him out on the wing, but somehow he approached the gate closer to the goal, ensuring that it was more iser. After Tottenham’s Talismanic Captain 42 touches in the first 55 minutes he had widespread, he was limited to only 11 (meaningless) interactions with the ball for more than half an hour. None of them were an effort at the finish line.
The creativity, which was made available so often by an injured James Maddison, was not available, since Spurs could only bring two shots to the goal in the second half – neither concerns for Stolarczyk, who was able, not for the first time Admission in his Premier League career.
The cheering roar from the away celebration to celebrate the winner of El Khannous was drowned from the rest of the floor by the aggressive boos. The boiling crowd broke into spontaneous chants of “We want Levy out!” several times in the second half.
The tactical decisions of Postecoglous were also violently questioned. Leicester’s time-shifted goalkeeper Stolarczyk became a pantomime evil weight and even trace players were not annoyed by an increasingly poisonous atmosphere. Porros insist on shooting from the closest corners soon wore thinly.
Tottenham’s manager expressed his own frustrations about the club’s hierarchy this week and claims that a lack of newcomers in January would “play with fire”. Levy, as he made it clear during his two decades at the head of the Spurs, will not be released. This luxury may no longer be extended to Postecoglou.
“They take a little stick during the game,” grinned Vardy when he last arrived against Tottenham. “As long as you can take it when I give it back then, everything is fine.” In the end, Spurs had major problems that had to worry about the chief pine of the Premier League, who still enjoyed.
After Vardy finally stuck Leicester Level, he followed Tottenham’s failed releases with his own miscarriage before contacting it late, and repeated the evergreen veteran from the opening game of the season and pointed to the Premier League badge on the sleeve Remember to remember to remind everyone in the season Nordlondon of his personal achievements and their own mistakes.
Vardy’s characteristic bars can distract from his remarkable durability. The proud top champion is only the fifth player aged 37, who contributed to ten or more goals in a single season of the Premier League.
The last time Richarlison started a Premier League game for Tottenham, he faced a page that was in the top 5 of the division. The Brazilian led the line for a team that started 15th place on Sunday and marked his long -awaited return with a goal – his first in the top flight since May.
Richarlison’s return to fitness just came when Postecoglou Dominic Solanke lost a knee injury for about six weeks. Tottenham’s coach wanted to downplay the expectations around his number nine before the game and warned: “He will not be played for a long time so that he is not the most sharpest, but the reality is when he doesn’t change what he has to play.”
The former Everton striker was sharp enough to find space in Leicester’s airy backline, and walked between Jannik Vestergaard’s duo and Wout Faes to nod up close.
The decision to withdraw Richarlison within ten minutes after the restart was mocked by a lot that did not become happier.
