Tottenham Hotspur loses connection to the top of the table.

The Spurs were defeated by Leicester City in the Premier League 0-2 (0-1).

Jamie Vardy took the lead with a foul penalty improperly caused by Serge Aurier (45 + 4 minutes), the second goal came from an own goal by Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld (59).

For only the second time, the Spurs conceded a penalty and an own goal in the same game in the Premier League.

Tottenham have not won for three games in a row.

After the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on matchday 12, Tottenham still led the Premier League.

After losing to Liverpool last Wednesday and now against Leicester, Spurs are now six points behind leaders Liverpool (31 points) in fourth place.

Leicester is second in the table (27).

The game started on a manageable level.

Leicester seemed a little more concerned about possession, but barely penetrated the penalty area of ​​the Spurs, who were initially waiting for counter opportunities.

Both teams were defensively safe.

Tottenham's striker Harry Kane had the greatest opportunity when he put a header just over the goal from a few meters (41st).

Mourinho almost missed the penalty

For a long time the game was very quiet, both teams seemed to be preparing for a 0-0 break.

Tottenham's coach José Mourinho was apparently already on his way to the cabin.

But then Aurier pushed Leicester's Wesley Fofana awkwardly on the penalty area line.

Mourinho stood in front of the entrance to the inside of the stadium and watched from there as referee Craig Pawson decided on penalties after viewing the television images.

Vardy turned him into the lead with a shot in the middle (45th + 4).

For the first time in the current season, the Spurs went into halftime with a deficit.

Shortly after the restart, Leicester scored the alleged 2-0.

With the help of the video assistant, referee Pawson recognized an offside position for James Maddison, his goal did not count (48th).

Then Leicester did it: After a cross from the right side, Vardy headed the ball into the center, where defender Alderweireld could not dodge quickly enough and steered the ball with his thigh into his own goal (59th).

Tottenham had to react, now came into possession more often, but also rarely created good opportunities with the fresh attackers Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura.

Son Heung-min had the best chance to catch up after a free kick from Bales.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel parried the shot from close range (71.).
