Leicester City ended their seven-game losing run and escaped the Premier League's relegation zone with an unlikely 2-1 away win over Ange Postecoglou's under-fire Tottenham. (More Football News)
Ruud van Nistelrooy's strugglers knew a defeat in north London would se꧒e them equal their worst-ever streak in league action, and they fell behind shortly after the half-hour mark.
Richarlison – making his first 💛league start of the season after struggling with a ham♛string injury – got away from Wout Faes and James Justin to nod Pedro Porro's cross home.
However, two goals in the first🍌 five minutes of the second half turned Sunday'🐻s game on its head, with Jamie Vardy tapping home just 57 seconds after the restart.
Bilal El Khannouss then put Leice𝐆ster ahead with a curler from just outside the D, after the impressive Bobby De Cordova-Reid pounced on some sloppy play from Rodrigo Bentancur.
Porro saw a free-kick deflect off Vardy and hit the crossbar just after the hour mark, but that was as close as Tottenham came to an equaliser as they slipped to a 🅺fourth stra🍸ight league defeat.
They remain 15th in ♏the league, with Posteco𒀰glou under mounting pressure ahead of next week's trip to Brentford.
Leicester, meanwhile, overtake Wolves to go 17th in the table, with 16th-place♉d Everton next up for the Foxes on Saturday.
Data Debrief: Spurs on worst run since 2008
Tottenham have now gone seven Premier League games without a win, drawing one – against struggling 🗹Wolves – and losing the other six.
It is their longest winless run in the competition since they endured a nine-match s♛treak between May and Oܫctober 2008, a run that led to Juande Ramos being replaced by Harry Redknapp.
Postecoglou will hope he does not pay the p🎃rice for the poor run by being dismissed, but this def🏅eat represents a new nadir in their terrible season.
This is the first time Tottenham have lost at 🧜home to a team that had lost their previous seven league games since 1912, when they did so against Notts County.
