Tanguy Ndombele has admitted to Canal Plus that Tottenham Hotspur did not deserve anything from this afternoon’s defeat by Leicester City.

Spurs lost 2-1 away to Brendan Rodgers’s side in a defeat which could leave them 10 points behind Liverpool if the European champions win at Chelsea on Sunday.

Tottenham took the lead through Harry Kane and had a goal ruled out through VAR after Son Heung-min was deemed offside in the build-up to Serge Aurier’s strike.

Leicester snatched the points in the final minutes through James Maddison, and Ndombele, a £63 million signing by the Lilywhites during the summer, claims that the North Londoners got what they deserved.

He told Canal Plus: “I think that we could have won this, but it was a fairly balanced match. It was not like they didn’t deserve to win. I think that at 1-0 we should have controlled the game more.”

It’s becoming quite worrying how Mauricio Pochettino’s side struggle to keep a lead.

They went 2-0 up against Olympiacos in midweek and wound up drawing 2-2, while the exact same happened in their trip to Arsenal before the international break.
