Match Review
Leicester City 2-3 Tottenham
Match reaction by Brian Langston
Most blogs or stories start at the beginning, but not tonight, this is starting from the 94th minute, when city from 2-1 up somehow ending up loosing 2-3, I would honestly like to describe how, but my literature skills are not in any way shape or form strong enough to describe in detail what I just witnessed at the KP.
With city having players back from injuries, covid or whatever else is stopping games going ahead, actually starting well, and the opening 10 minutes looked the better side, not necessarily just with the ball, but overall commitment.
After the initial game control of city, Spurs started to find their feet and in particular in the midfield area, where the xtra man was making the difference, and with city playing 3 or 5 at the back, perhaps tactically we may have got it wrong tonight.
Spurs certainly were now dominating play and with chances coming and either being saved, missed or brilliantly cleared off the line by Albrighton, it was against the run of play that brilliant work from Lookman and Daka and the latter finished off a great move and city 1 up.
With the KP rocking with great support, I was happy with the lead, although it was against the run of play, but hey who cared.
The lead only lasted 14 minutes when a fine ball from winks found Kane, who easily turned Soyuncu and slotted the ball easily past a helpless Kasper.
So 1-1 at halftime and I was hoping for a tactical change, as my thoughts were we needed another body in midfield, but this was not to be, but after 55 minutes, JJ made his return to a cheers of unprecedented volume and for a lad that had been out 12 months did not disappoint.
When Barnes came on for Daka, after 75 minutes, that surprised me, but hey 2 minutes later, great work from Barnes found Maddison who chipped the oncoming keeper and 2-1.
The final 15 or so minutes was back to the wall defending as Spurs threw everything at us and more, and with city defenders putting bodies on the line and defending like they meant it, what then happened is and was quite unbelievable, as Spurs had brought on Bergwijn and certainly added pace and forward playing thinking, scored two in injury time of which the winning goal was I think a lack of concentration from Tielmens and equally bad ball, found Kane who put a through ball threw to Bergwijn and Kasper hesitated coming out and he rounded him and slotted home the winning goal for spurs.
This is a difficult result to take, but with JJ back a big plus, so Brighton home Sunday and hopefully Amartay back in central defence .
My MOM tonight was Dewsbury hall.
