Match Report
Something had to give for Leicester City and finally it did on Sunday as the Foxes came from behind to secure a huge 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Although Richarlison's 33rd-minute header put Spurs ahead, seemingly on course for victory, Ruud van Nistelrooy's men fought back with courage and guts. Jamie Vardy's eighth goal of the season got us level 60 seconds into the second half, before Bilal El Khannouss' stylish low curler completed a five-minute turnaround. This is a result which propels City up to 17th in the Premier League table, a point clear of Wolves, ahead of a consequential trip to Everton next weekend. Just as importantly, perhaps, it puts an end to a damaging run of form and allows City to start looking upwards in the table after a winter, so far, to forget for van Nistelrooy's side.
