José Mourinho's Tottenham fell at home 0-2 against Leicester (2nd) who overtook them in the standings, thus closing a dark week in which they have only added one point in three games.
After more than 40 minutes without goals, the 'Foxes' went into halftime with an advantage thanks to a goal from their star striker,
Jamie Vardy
(45 + 4), from a penalty.
The psychological goal affected the 'Spurs', who soon found themselves further away on the scoreboard with
Toby Alderweireld's
own goal
.
This defeat of Tottenham closes his particular disastrous week.
A solo leader before their game last Sunday, the North London side drew 1-1 at
Crystal Palace
(13th) that day, lost 2-1 to Liverpool (1st) and lost to Leicester.
Due to this bad run, Mourinho's formation is now 4th in the standings with 25 points, six behind Liverpool.
Leicester, meanwhile, is second with 27. Third is a recovered Everton from Ancelotti with 26.
And it is that in front of a Leicester that resembles a bit in its love for counterattacks, Tottenham was unable to impose its game and generate danger.
The pair formed by Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, habitual terror of the English defenses, was completely handcuffed by the central Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana.
Aurier's mistake
The visitors' first goal came from a ridiculous penalty by
Serge Aurier
.
The Ivorian pushed Fofana from behind into his area when the defender of the 'foxes' was in a not very dangerous area, specifically in the corner of the area and with his back to the goal defended by French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Vardy, who rarely disappoints, did not miss the shot and scored his 11th goal of the season, allowing him to tie with Son and
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
, all three behind
Mohamed Salah
, who leads the scoring table with 13 goals. .
The second goal came after an unfortunate deflection by Alderweireld after a header from Vardy, who had won in the jump to the Belgian defender and Moussa Sissoko, both players taller than the English gunner.
