Leicester City ended their winless run in dramatic fashion with a 2-1 comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur. A second half goal from star man El Khannouss sealed the crucial three points for the Foxes after an intense encounter.
Tottenham started the game brightly and broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute. Richarlison, making his return from injury, rose highest to meet Pedro Porro’s inch-perfect cross, powering a header past the Leicester goalkeeper. The Brazilian celebrated with passion, giving Spurs a deserved 1-0 lead heading into halftime.
Leicester, however, came out with renewed energy in the second half. Within the first minute of the restart, Jamie Vardy showcased his poacher’s instinct, latching onto a loose ball in the box and slotting it past Spurs’ keeper Kinsky to bring the game level at 1-1. The goal sent the visiting fans into a frenzy and shifted the momentum firmly in Leicester’s favor.
Just four minutes later, Leicester completed the turnaround. Bobby Reid picked up the ball in midfield and threaded a perfectly weighted pass into the path of El Khannouss. The Moroccan sensation took one touch to steady himself before curling a stunning shot into the bottom corner, leaving Kinsky rooted to the spot. The Foxes held on to their lead with a disciplined defensive performance, denying Spurs any chance of an equalizer.
The win not only ended Leicester’s winless streak but also reignited their fight for a stronger league finish. Spurs, on the other hand, were left to rue missed opportunities and their inability to hold onto their first-half advantage.
