Leicester vs Tottenham result: Foxes come back to earn Premier League win over Spurs

Re-live the action from the King Power Stadium

Tottenham 2019-20 Premier League season preview

James Maddison scored a brilliant winner to help Leicester City come from behind and beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday in a match dominated by VAR drama.

The Video Assistant Referee was heavily involved early on after Wilfred Ndidi had bundled the ball into the net, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.

There was no question over the opening goal in the 29th minute as Harry Kane fired a stunning strike past Kasper Schmeichel to give Spurs the lead.

Serge Aurier thought he had doubled the visitors' advantage only for VAR to intervene again, much to the home fans' delight, with Son Heung-min adjudged offside in the build- up.

That proved crucial as Ricardo Pereira levelled things up in the 69th minute from 12 yards, swinging the momentum in the home side's favour.

Maddison completed the turnaround with a superb strike from 25 yards five minutes from time, drilling the ball past the despairing dive of Hugo Lloris to move Leicester up to provisional second in the table.

Our prediction

Leicester have struggled defensively this season, and Spurs hit four last time out against Palace, so it seems likely that the away side will get chances.

The hosts have looked at their best when facing teams that play expansively, as Spurs tend to, so Jamie Vardy and James Maddison should have more joy than they did against United last weekend.

Leicester 1-2 Spurs.

When is it?
