Antonio Conte saw a side of his Tottenham team against Leicester City on Saturday evening that he will not want to see again in a hurry. Running out 6-2 winners following four second-half strikes, it really could have been more than the eight goals in the contest going on the amount of chances both sides created.
Having cancelled out Youri Tielemans' early penalty to go ahead through Harry Kane and Eric Dier strikes, Spurs looked set to kick on after that but they were extremely sloppy and careless in possession and that always gave the visitors a chance.
Leicester advanced through the middle of the park with ease at times, notably when Patson Daka ran on to Wout Faes' pass before shooting tamely at Hugo Lloris, and they could have even gone in ahead at the break as James Maddison, who was in acres of space in the box, saw his effort saved by the goalkeeper moments after his brilliant equaliser. Wilfred Ndidi then presented Spurs with an almighty gift moments after the restart following some poor play outside his box that Rodrigo Bentancur took with both hands.
