Tottenham fell to a 2-1 shock defeat by Leicester City, courtesy of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez‘s first half goals at King Power Stadium in Premier League.
Jamie Vardy broke the deadlock in the 13th minute when he watched Marc Albrighton’s inch-perfect chip float past his left shoulder before leaping into the air to deftly volley the ball over a startled Hugo Lloris.
Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez stroded forward and Vertonghen made the fatal mistake of allowing him to cut inside on to his favoured left foot. Mahrez unleashed a peach of a strike which ripped into the far corner of Lloris’s net from the corner of the penalty area for the second before the break.
Harry Kane may have briefly raised hopes when he rifled sub Erik Lamela’s through ball beyond Kasper Schmeichel with 12 minutes left on the clock.
