Claudio Ranieri's Leicester were denied a repeat of last season's 2-1 FA Cup win in an exciting tie at White Hart Lane, after the teams, who meet in the Premier League on Wednesday, made 15 changes between them.

Spurs held the lead for only nine minutes after Christian Eriksen scored early on, with Leicester's Polish defender Marcin Wasilewski equalising with a header.

Japan's Shinji Okazaki then scored only two minutes after coming on as a substitute at the interval.

The home side threw on England internationals Harry Kane and Dele Alli and Kane's penalty, after a handball by Nathan Dyer, earned them a replay.

But who was the star man at the Lane? Did super sub Okazaki take the plaudits or was Eriksen on fine form again?

The reply between the two sides will be played on Tuesday 19 January.
