Tottenham player ratings vs Leicester: Shattered Spurs running on empty as Sarr and Dragusin struggle
Share:
Tottenham’s dreadful slump continued as they squandered another lead to lose 2-1 at home to struggling Leicester. Deservedly leading 1-0 at the break through Richarlison’s header, Spurs conceded twice in four minutes at the start of the second half with Jamie Vardy tapping in from close range and Bilal El Khannouss finishing from the edge of the box.
Pedro Porro’s free-kick struck the crossbar and Dejan Kulusevski went close but a depleted Spurs, who were missing 10 players through injury, could not find a way back into the game. Here’s how we rated the Spurs players... Antonin Kinsky 6. Bobby De Cordova Reid’s cross evaded him for Leicester’s leveller and he was well-beaten by El Khannouss’ precision finish.
Pedro Porro 7. Created the opening goal with an excellent cross for Richarlison and twice came close to scoring, including with a deflected free-kick off the crossbar at 2-1. But De Cordova Reid escaped behind him for the equaliser and, a few minutes after his free-kick, he selfishly shot instead of squaring to Archie Gray.
Radu Dragusin 5. Occasionally loose in possession and lost Vardy for the equalising goal but is putting in a shift every game and must be in need of a proper rest. Ben Davies 5. Made a couple of important blocks in the first half but could have been more assertive at the start of the second half when Leicester turned the game on its head.
