Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 with the Premier League champions on Saturday.
Phil Thompson has told Sky Sports that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama was responsible for Spurs’ concession in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost a bit of ground in the Premier League title race following a stalemate which saw them slip three points behind co-leaders Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool after 10 matches played.
Vincent Janssen opened the scoring from the penalty spot just before half time following a very contentious decision by referee Robert Madley, but summer signing Ahmed Musa restored parity within minutes of the restart
The Kenyan midfielder was the man who lost possession for Tottenham with a sloppy header which Jamie Vardy latched on to en route to setting up the 24-year-old.
And Thompson has laid blame to the 25-year-old for the goal.
He told Sky Sports: “My moment of the match has to be the equaliser; three minutes after half time. It was a mistake from Victor Wanyama, gave the ball to Vardy. He went down the right-hand side, played a fantastic square ball and Musa forced the ball over the line.”
Wanyama did lose possession, but the former Southampton man, a £12 million summer signing by Pochettino, has arguably been the Lilywhites’ best player this season, so supporters can’t be overly critical of the big midfielder.
