Jamie Vardy saves point for Leicester as Tottenham’s dominance dissipates
After Jamie Vardy stunned Tottenham by scoring an unlikely equaliser approaching the hour, he saluted the Leicester supporters, puffed out his chest and blew kisses to the crowd. But his animated exchange with the Spurs fans in a pocket of the stadium upon leaving the field with 11 minutes of normal time to play upstaged his celebration.
As Vardy was roundly jeered he pointed to the Premier League badge on the forearm of his blue Leicester shirt. Guglielmo Vicario went berserk as he forced a late corner after Lucas Bergvall cheaply surrendered possession. Ange Postecoglou, hands in pockets, must have wondered how things unravelled for his side after Pedro Porro’s opener and his mind will also have been occupied with Rodrigo Bentancur, who was carried off on a stretcher after five minutes of on-field treatment. For Steve Cooper, this was a deeply heartening first competitive match in charge of Leicester.
