Leicester City, who added 3 points with a complete win, rose to second place (27 points) after Liverpool (31 points).
Tottenham struggled as Leicester City led the game by increasing possession of the ball after the initial search match. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Harry Kane’s free kick didn’t go well enough to record his first shot.
At the end of the first half, Son Heung-min and Kane duo’s breathing gradually improved and the frequency of sending the ball near the goal increased, but it did not lead to a goal.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min connected Kane’s right flank cross with his head, and Giovanni Rosselso touched his left foot but missed the defensive check. One minute later, Kane rushed into Son Heung-min’s left corner kick and headed slightly above the goal.

Tottenham, who seemed to pass the first half to 0-0.
The foul after Oriega’s opposition player Wesley Popana from the left side of the penalty area was declared a penalty after an on-field review by the referee, and the first half ended with kicker Jamie Boddi hitting a strong right-footed shot, out of balance.
The second half started enthusiastically by subtracting Tanggi Ndombele, which was placed in the middle of the second line, and putting in Gareth Vale, but Tottenham almost scored another goal in less than three minutes.
A long ball raised by James Justin from the rear fell exquisitely into the space behind the defense, and James Madison’s right-footed shot hit the post. However, a video reading (VAR) showed Madison was in an offside position and the goal was cancelled.

Although he managed to pass the concession crisis, Tottenham joined the defense right after the start of the second half, and after falling down, Rosselso, who complained of hamstring pain, eventually became unable to play, resulting in an unexpected variable changing to Lucas Mora.
In the 14th minute of the second half, center-back Toby Alderweireld even scored an own goal, leading to a more difficult situation.
With nowhere to retreat, Tottenham tightened the reins of the offensive, but seldom scored a goal.
After passing a pass with Son Heung-min in the 16th minute of the second half, Kane’s left-footed shot from the left of the penalty arc was headed in front of Kasper Schmeichel’s goalkeeper. The shot is blocked.
Leicester City coach Brendon Rogers, who had never won with 2 draws and 5 losses in the previous 7 confrontations with Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho, won the first victory after eight challenges.
