#3 Spurs and Leicester come from behind to gain vital points
Trending
Tottenham claimed two back-to-back wins in the week, and in the second game of the week, a strong performance helped them come from a goal down against Burnley. Ashley Barnes scored from close range to open the scoring against the run of play but Spurs showed that they are not to be written off just yet by getting right back in the game through a Dele Alli equaliser moments later. Danny Rose then thumped in the winner in the second half to help his team move closer to the top four.
Champions Leicester City had an even tougher task after they went a man down and came from two goals down to come back and rescue a point against Stoke City. Jamie Vardy was forced into an early bath after he received a controversial red card for a two-footed challenge. The Potters then scored a couple of goals to end the first half, as the title holders looked set to continue their slump.
But Claudio Ranieri sent on Leonardo Ulloa late in the second half and the Argentine got a goal back for Leicester with a good header. The Foxes showed tremendous spirit in the dying minutes of the game and got their equaliser two minutes from time. The point wasn’t enough to move them out of danger but will serve as a morale booster for their next few games.
