Leicester's trip to Spurs this season does not have quite the same riding on it as their matches last season. The title contenders from 2015/16 are no longer clashing directly at the top of the table, but it still presented a tricky, enticing fixture for Spurs.

The game flung one way to the other. It was meant to be fun and it provided all the drama we could have hoped for at the start of the day. Fired up players and two managers fully focused on the game made for the contest that we had expected to see at White Hart Lane. Neither side held anything back, there was not even the suggestion of keeping energy in reserve, it was a full-blooded contest for the entire 95 minutes or so that the players were on the pitch.

An eventual 1-1 draw was a relatively fair result. Leicester played in the way we expect Leicester to play now and Spurs played how Spurs play. No pretences, no caution, just two sides competing with their all.

And we know you're wondering quite how the game panned out. So, here are FIVE images that tell the tale...

New Soldado?

Janssen peno

Vincent Janssen's troubled start at Spurs might not be quite over yet, but the striker has had some gentle relief in the form of penalty kicks.

After emphatically thumping home from 12 yards against Liverpool in midweek, Janssen opened the scoring from the spot against Leicester.

Magic Musa

Unfortunately injuring himself in the process, Ahmed Musa levelled the game up early on in the second half.

Spurs' defence has not looked quite the same since the injury to Toby Alderweireld and Leicester deserved their goal at this point.

Steamy affair

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League

They competed like two teams on level footing, with hard tackles flying in from both sides. Cards a natural consequence of that and Jamie Vardy drew some of the referees attention as everyone would have expected.

It was a fiery match in parts and not the most comfortable game to officiate.

No Lilywhite delight

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League

Near misses were not a rarity for Spurs on Saturday afternoon, as they failed to win their fourth straight game in all competitions.

Although they are still unbeaten in the league, difficulties finding the net from open play continued in this game and will have Mauricio Pochettino a little concerned.

Honours Even

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League

Waves of late pressure from Spurs were broken up by the odd attack for Leicester, but nothing could split the two sides come the final whistle.

Two of the Premier League's cheeriest mangers left knowing it could have been worse, although they'll be wondering why they didn't quite do enough to snatch victory.
