Tottenham’s dreadful slump continued as they squandered another lead to lose 2-1 at home to struggling Leicester.

Deservedly leading 1-0 at the break through Richarlison’s header, Spurs conceded twice in four minutes at the start of the second half with Jamie Vardy tapping in from close range and Bilal El Khannouss finishing from the edge of the box.

Pedro Porro’s free-kick struck the crossbar and Dejan Kulusevski went close but a depleted Spurs, who were missing 10 players through injury, could not find a way back into the game.

Here’s how we rated the Spurs players...

Antonin Kinsky 6

Bobby De Cordova Reid’s cross evaded him for Leicester’s leveller and he was well-beaten by El Khannouss’ precision finish.

Pedro Porro 7

Created the opening goal with an excellent cross for Richarlison and twice came close to scoring, including with a deflected free-kick off the crossbar at 2-1. But De Cordova Reid escaped behind him for the equaliser and, a few minutes after his free-kick, he selfishly shot instead of squaring to Archie Gray.

Radu Dragusin 5

Occasionally loose in possession and lost Vardy for the equalising goal but is putting in a shift every game and must be in need of a proper rest.

Ben Davies 5

Made a couple of important blocks in the first half but could have been more assertive at the start of the second half when Leicester turned the game on its head.

Archie Gray 6

Looks tired but coped well at left-back before moving into a more familiar midfield role for most of the second half.

Rodrigo Bentancur 5

Went missing for Leicester’s second goal and was sloppy in possession at times, suggesting he remains rusty following a series of recent absences.

Lucas Bergvall 7

Set up big chances for Porro and Son in the first 20 minutes and kept battling in another impressive display in the circumstances.

Pape Matar Sarr 5

Involved in the build up to the Spurs goal but did not look fully fit. No surprise when he was hooked early in the second half.

Dejan Kulusevski 6

Continues to work hard and look a huge threat on the counter but is obviously jaded. Went close to a leveller in the second half but the keeper stood up well to his shot.

Heung-min Son 6

Looked sharp after his double mid-week, twice forcing excellent saves from Stolarczyk at 0-0, but faded in the second half.

Richarlison 7

Marked his first league start of the season with a well-taken headed goal to break the deadlock. Looked a threat and his withdrawal shortly before the hour was met with boos.

Subs

Mikey Moore (Richarlison 54’) 7

Looked lively from the left wing in another bright cameo.

Sergio Reguilon (Sarr 54’) 6

It is a measure of Postecoglou’s current options that the Spaniard is now considered a game-changer from the bench. Got up and down well enough but short of quality in possession.

Will Lankshear (Gray 90’) N/A

Not enough time to make an impact and plainly not trusted as a serious option yet.

Not used: Austin, Bissouma, Yang, Ajayi, Olusesi.
