Tottenham got off to a dream start.
And then came the collapse – the team of coach Antonio Conte lost everything, and he was seriously injured.
– They scored at almost every opportunity, disappointed Heung-min Son tells the BBC.
Leicester eventually beat Tottenham at home. But it started tentatively.
Timothée Castagne was on his way to clear the ball, but he got fouled and the ball bounced into his own goal through Rodrigo Bentancur, then a quarter of an hour had passed.
It will be the beginning of the overtaking – from Leicester.
Nampalys Mendy pounded the equalizer into the net ceiling.
James Madison gave Leicester the lead.
Kelechi Iheanacho played 3-1.
All before the break.

And as if that weren’t enough, Bentancur suffered a serious knee injury in the second half when his foot made contact with the grass and his leg sprained. The midfielder was consoled by his teammates, who was finally able to get up and leave the field on his own.
Spurs pressed for the cut, but instead Harvey Barnes made it 4-1 with ten minutes remaining. Curtain for the London team, the last bitter operation Antonio Conte.
We started well and created chances. After 1-1 we conceded a quick second goal and then it was wide open. It was a tough match. Leicester was clinical, scoring at almost every opportunity. It’s disappointing, Heung-min Son tells the BBC.
