Rodrigo Bentancur’s close-range goal gave Spurs an early lead at the King Power Stadium as they sought to build on their victory over reigning champions Manchester City last weekend and pursue a fourth straight victory in all competitions.

However, the home team immediately turned the game around when Nampalys Mendy scored an equaliser in the 23rd minute and James Maddison’s second goal in as many games two minutes later.

The timing of Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho’s third goal, which extended Leicester’s advantage in first-half stoppage time, appeared to destroy Spurs’ chances of salvaging anything from the game.

After the break, the visitors made very little forward contributions, and Harvey Barnes added a quality fourth goal nine minutes from time to give Leicester their third straight victory across all competitions and take them up to 13th in the standings with 24 points after 22 games.

With two more games played than Newcastle United in fourth, who are playing Bournemouth later on Saturday, Spurs are still in fifth place with 39 points from 23 games, one point shy of the Champions League spots.

Harvey Barnes thought he had added a third in the 70th minute but saw his slotted finish, after another Spurs defensive error, ruled out for offside following a VAR review.The winger was not to be denied, however, as he finished well late on to cap a miserable afternoon for the visitors.
