Tottenham’s form hits new low as team loses 1-2 to Leicester at home

Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles deepened on Sunday as they squandered a lead to lose 2-1 at home to a resurgent Leicester City.

The defeat extended Spurs’ winless streak in the Premier League to seven games, with their injury-hit squad failing to capitalize on an advantageous position.

Despite taking the lead in the first half through Richarlison, Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss struck early in the second half, sealing a crucial win for Leicester that lifted them out of the relegation zone.

In a match reported by NBC Sports, Leicester’s victory moved them to 17 points, while Tottenham remained on 24, intensifying the scrutiny on both chairman Daniel Levy and manager Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou defended his players following the loss, but the performance highlighted glaring issues for which both he and his squad must take responsibility.

While injuries have plagued Tottenham, other Premier League teams, such as Bournemouth, Brentford, and even title contenders Arsenal, have navigated similar challenges.

Tottenham’s inability to close out the game against a struggling Leicester City side at home raises serious concerns.

Despite boasting a lineup of international-quality players, Spurs lacked composure, creativity, and belief after conceding.

Postecoglou now faces mounting pressure, with his previously exciting and free-flowing side no longer delivering the attacking verve that masked their defensive frailties earlier in the season.
