Beijing time on the evening of December 20th, the 14th round of the Premier League's focus game started, Tottenham were sitting at home against Leicester City. In the last round of "the first game", Tottenham lost 1 to 2 away to Liverpool, losing the top spot. And Leicester City also suffered a defeat in the last round, they lost to Everton 0-2 at home. The two teams that currently differ by 1 point in the standings are eager to use a victory to get rid of the decline.
In the starting lineup, Sun Xingyun and Kane led the Tottenham lineup, Loselso and Ndongbele played, and Belwyn, who lost the single-handedly in the last round, did not enter the starting lineup. For the Blue Foxes, Vardy and Madison played, and Endidi and Tillermans appeared. The first half of the game was a little dull. Leicester City had the first to win after the opening. Madison and Vardy had both made threatening shots.
and then Tottenham gradually stabilized their position and were threatened by Harry Kane and Sun Xingmin many times. Especially in the 40th minute of the game, the two of "Sun Kai" almost reconnected. At that time, Sun Xingmin took a corner kick into the penalty area and Kane's header went above the crossbar.
injury time in the first half, a dramatic scene happened. Tottenham right back Olier deliberately knocked over Fofana in the penalty area. The referee returned to VAR and awarded Olier a foul. Leicester City received a penalty. Vardy took the penalty in one fell swoop, 1-0, Lay City lead away.
and the Tottenham coach Mourinho on the sidelines obviously did not expect the referee to award a penalty. Already getting up and preparing to leave the field to go to the locker room to make tactical arrangements, he had to turn around and stop, his face was full of puzzlement and anger. In addition to his dissatisfaction with the referee's sentence, Mourinho might also be in the penalty area with Oliye Nei was disappointed by the reckless foul.
Mourinho is so angry that it is excusable that if this game loses at home, Tottenham will suffer a two-game losing streak, and Liverpool, the top of the list, will open 6 points. The team’s just ignited hopes for the championship will undoubtedly be a huge blow.
