Leicester City moved out of the bottom three after a huge win away at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday
Former Fox James Maddison was missing from the Spurs lineup after Ange Postecoglou admitted that he wasn’t fully fit whilst Leicester’s front three had a combined age of 102 in a move that angered supporters.
Yet again, it was a familiar tale for Leicester as a bright start was soon undone as Richarlison scored on his first league start of the season.
The narrative changed however as the Foxes completed a full 180 within the first five minutes as Jamie Vardy equalised before Bilal El Khannouss’ long-range effort ensured the Foxes would put an end to their seven-game losing streak in the top flight.
Three points means they have now moved up to 17th too and their survival battle is back in their own hands.

Jakub Stolarczyk – 7
He’ll be annoyed with his defence for conceding the goal but once again Stolarczyk was brilliant in-between the sticks
Had huge pressure after returning from a long injury lay-off but handled it really well.
James Justin – 6
The player whose place is most under threat following Woyo Coulibaly’s arrival but this was one of his better games in a Leicester shirt this season.
Wout Faes – 5
Lost Richarlison far too easily for the opening goal. Faes has been poor all season and today was another to add to his catalogue of errors.
Jannik Vestergaard – 7
Solid at the back and becoming a real leader in this squad. Handled the Spurs attack brilliantly.
Victor Kristiansen – 6
Struggled in the first half against Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski but going forward looked a threat. Improved in the second half.
Harry Winks – 6
A very good return to his boyhood club for Winks. Dictated the play in the middle of the park and
Boubakary Soumare – 7
One of his most composed performances in the middle of the park. The way he turns and shuffles past players is as good as any in the league. Improved a lot defensively too.
Jordan Ayew – 6
Held the ball up really well and did his defensive duties as always. Squandered a really good chance in the first half but never stopped.
Bilal El Khannouss – 7
The focal point of everything good about Leicester. El Khannouss has been one of Leicester’s best players this season and scored a beautiful goal that was enough to get the win on the day.
Bobby De-Cordova Reid – 8
Played a massive role in both goals as he provided assists for Vardy and El Khannouss. One of his most important displays in a Leicester shirt.
Jamie Vardy – 7
Trolled Tottenham fans with a hilarious celebration and scored a mightily important equaliser that was the spark for Leicester to turn things around.
Substitutes
Facundo Buonanotte – 6
Buonanotte showed no signs of his fallout with Van Nistelrooy affecting him as he got stuck in straightaway, earning a yellow card in the process. Helped nulify the Spurs opposition.
Patson Daka – 6
Defended well from the front and offered an outlet for Leicester on the counter.
Conor Coady – 6
Brought on to see the win out and did exactly that.
Oliver Skipp – 6
Likewise with Coady, brought on to help defend the lead and did so.
Woyo Coulibaly – N/A
A very brief debut for the new signing but player but started off with a win after coming on for a tense few minutes.
