On a night when Tottenham dominated Leicester and created the better chances they still managed to lose, as the Foxes undid them. Who were the best performers?
Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris – 5/10
Could do nothing on either goal. Had little to do otherwise.
Centre-back: Eric Dier – 4/10
Let Vardy run off him for Leicester’s opener. Wasn’t too bad besides that, but the error was huge and put Spurs into a losing position they would never get out of.
Centre-back: Davinson Sanchez – 6/10
Not bad, certainly, but failed to bail his team-mates out as he has in the past.
Centre-back: Jan Vertonghen – 4/10
Shocking decision to let Mahrez cut infield onto his left-foot in first-half stoppage time, allowing the Algerian to score what was eventually the winning goal.
Right wing-back: Serge Aurier – 5/10
Worked hard in defence, but wasn’t effective winning just 2/7 tackles. Did very little in attack.
Central midfield: Moussa Sissoko – 4/10
Should have scored an equaliser after being put through by Kane after 16 minutes. Shot it straight at Schmeichel. Ran around a lot but did little else. Removed early.
Central midfield: Moussa Dembélé – 5/10
Safe with the ball (94% pass completion) but not adventurous or creative enough. Looks a way short of his best. Moved with 20 minutes to go.
Left wing-back: Danny Rose – 6/10
Cleared a Morgan header off the line after 8 minutes and was otherwise fairly lively. One of Spurs’ most consistent outlets.
Attacking midfield: Christian Eriksen – 5/10
A return to form for the Dane (well, sort of – he wasn’t terrible). Made several incisive passes in the first half, tailed off in the second and missed a great chance after 74 minutes. Taken off on 77.
Attacking midfield: Dele Alli – 5/10
Was bright and full of purpose, but nevertheless used the ball relatively poorly. Missed a wonderful chance to equalise in the first half, shot it straight into Kasper Schmeichel.
Striker: Harry Kane – 7/10
Bright, inventive and always looking to cause trouble.Kane struggled for much of the match but took his chance with ruthless precision, pulling Spurs back into the match.
Heung-Min Son: – 7/10
Came on for Sissoko after 57 minutes and was superb. Not everything he tried came off, but he never stopped trying and was full of good ideas.
Fernando Llorente: – 4/10
Came on for Dembélé after 69 minutes. Missed a sitter with 10 minutes remaining.
Erik Lamela: – 7/10
Came on for Christian Eriksen after 76 minutes. Set-up Kane wonderfully with his first involvement.
