Gary Lineker was a relieved Leicester City fan after they came from behind to beat Tottenham Hotspur.
Several Leicester stars impressed in the win against Spurs as Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss’ goals cancelled out Richarlison’s first half opener.
The win was Leicester’s first in eight Premier League games and took them out of the bottom three and up to 17th.

Vardy was on top form, trolling Spurs fans after his equaliser whilst manager Ruud van Nistelrooy’s tactical tweak with 10 minutes to go helped the visitors and see out a massive win.
Lineker admitted that he was feeling “a mixture of elation and and joy and relief” after watching his boyhood club win.
But, as important as the win was, the Leicester legend and Alan Shearer both agreed on one issue that could still affect the Foxes.
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer concerned by Leicester’s reliance of Jamie Vardy
Once again, it was Jamie Vardy who took the headlines as Van Nistelrooy singled out his ‘leader’ on the pitch.
His goal was his 10th against Tottenham and the spark that brought the Foxes level and inspired them to victory.
Aged 38, the forward has played in nearly every game this season and is Leicester’s top scorer with eight goals.
It may be remarkable to see, but Lineker and Shearer are worried that Leicester are still too reliant on Vardy and that an injury to their talisman could derail the whole season.

Speaking on the Rest is Football, Lineker waxed lyrical about the forward before Shearer asked: “Do you not think that’s part of the problem though?
“Leicester are relying on a 38-year-old centre forward to get you through games and he’s one of your best players.”
Lineker replied: “I think they’ve struggled to find someone up there because I think it’s probably difficult at that age to play every single game.
“[Patson] Daka’s not quite done it at the top flight. So yeah, Leicester’s reliance and an injury to Vardy would be deeply concerning, I think for Leicester.”
Jamie Vardy’s incredible stats vs Tottenham
A leader from the front, club captain Vardy was inspirational for the Foxes.
His constant harassment of a fragile Tottenham backline acted as inspiration for the rest of his teammates to haggle and frustrate the hosts.
Whilst his goal will be what made headlines, it was his defensive work that was most impressive.
