Leicester City pulled off a remarkable comeback to stun Tottenham Hotspur in London on Saturday and grant themselves a timeline lifeline in their bid to remain in the Premier League.

City fell behind after Richarlison opened the scoring for Spurs, but they hit their hosts with a quick-fire double immediately after the restart through Jamie Vardy and then Bilal El Khannouss just five minutes later.

It brings to an end a run of seven straight matches which have ended in defeat for Ruud Van Nistelrooy and lifts the Foxes out of the Premier League for the time being, after defeats for survival rivals Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

Indeed Leicester are only seven points behind Spurs now, having taken four points off Ange Postecoglou's side this season. This is what the supporters made of it...

Andrew Joshi: Dr Tottenham

Funky robot: Thank you Dr Tottenham

DC : When you’re at your lowest ebb, when all hope has been extinguished, praise the lord for the existence of Tottenham Hotspur…..

Lil'Nap : Crucial 3 points against our relegation rivals

Robotto : Fair play #RVN, I’ve been very critical, but that was played perfectly. Bobby De Cordova-Reid & Ayew were fantastic, solid in the middle, Soumare was fantastic too. Fantastic 3 points, now let’s kick on.

Harrison : Out of the relegation zone, and an away win at spurs to break the streak of losses. An amazing result but this can’t blind us from the continuous errors made by our board and consistent lack of consequence.
