Premier League campaigners, Tottenham Hotspurs, on Sunday afternoon, February 10, continued with their impressive run in the EPL after stunning Leicester City 3-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Davinson Sanchez opened the scoring for the hosts in the 33rd minute, breaking the deadlock after Spurs dominating the opening exchanges of the encounter.

The two sides finished the first half with Spurs the better side, with Leicester emerging a little unlucky a few times.

In the 59th minute, the Foxes nearly pulled one back via Jamie Vardy from the spot, but the Englishman's penalty shot was cleverly saved by Hugo Lloris who was between the sticks for Spurs.

Five minutes after Vardy's missed penalty Christian Eriksen doubled Spurs' lead, cutting inside before waving a powerful shot with his right foot to make it 2-0.

Vardy finally made it 2-1 in the 76th minute, sliding home from close range to give the away fans a glimpse of hope of restoring parity.
