Tottenham Hotspur fans voiced their frustration toward chairman Daniel Levy after suffering yet another Premier League defeat at home to Leicester City.

Spurs were dominant in the first half and deserved their lead at the break thanks to Richarlison's header. However, the match was turned on its head at the beginning of the second 45 as Jamie Vardy's tap-in and Bilal El Khannouss' curling strike secured three points for the relegation-threatened side.

Boos rang out in North London at full-time with the pressure firmly on Ange Postecoglou as his side sit just eight points above the relegation zone. But the vast majority of the animosity was aimed at the directors' box.

In the home end, a banner was unfurled with '24 years, 16 managers, one trophy, time for change,' printed on it. Levy has shown no formal signs that he will be selling his stake in the club.

Speaking after the defeat, Postecoglou told the media: "Yeah, it hurts. It hurts a lot.

"The players gave everything again. We are going to look at a lot of things, but in terms of effort I can't ask anymore of this group, things just didn't go our way today.

"We created some good opportunities and unfortunately things just didn't drop for us because not because the players weren't trying and that's the main thing. The players are giving everything they can.

"That is all we can ask for as a football club and me as a manager. They are trying their hardest and that is all anyone can ask for.

"You can analyse the goals, they were disappointing goals for us to concede, but I thought we had enough chances in the game to come out on top. When you're in this situation, they are trying as hard as they can and sometimes that doesn't give you the clarity in decision making.

"All you can ask is for people to do as much as they can and from my perspective I see a group of players that are giving as much as they can. I know it will turn.

"We'll get some players back, we were short again today but in the next couple of weeks there's some really important players coming back that I know will help this group. We've not hit a ceiling.

"We've been going like this for two months. They put in an enormous performance on Thursday to make sure we're OK in Europe and they had to back it up today but there were probably at least two or three players that weren't at 100 per cent.

"I'm a football manager and I get judged on results, that is the way of the world."
