Tottenham Hotspur was once again defeated at home, with a score of 1-2 against bottom-placed Leicester, currently 17th in the Premier League, a team that had lost all of its last 7 consecutive matches.
There are major issues within the team still coached by Ange Postecoglu. With Radu Drăgușin as a starter, the London-based team was defeated by Leicester, managed by the well-known Dutchman Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
The hosts led 1-0 after Richarlison's goal in the 33rd minute, but the beginning of the second half was a real whirlwind for Leicester, who scored twice in 5 minutes, through Vardy and El Khannouss, in the 46th and 50th minutes.
For the first time in the last 20 years, Tottenham has suffered 12 defeats in so few matches played since the beginning of a season. Spurs are currently in 15th place and are effectively fighting against relegation, with 24 points, 8 above the first team below the red line, occupied by Wolverhampton.
Leicester has won only the second away game this season, and Postecoglu has 3 losses in the last 4 games, being reported as certain to be dismissed by the English press after this match.
At halftime, English journalists noted that Drăgușin was nervous when receiving the ball and often chose to play it "safely" rather than pass it: "Drăgușin was anxious when he had the ball, especially when under pressure. Sometimes he preferred to kick the ball out of play rather than pass it to a teammate. The perfect center-back for Ange," wrote the English from Spurs Web.
The Brits at Spurs Web, one of the affiliated websites of the London club, gave Radu Drăgușin a rating of 4 for his performance in the first half.
