What Eric Dier did that guided Antonio Conte's Tottenham side to victory vs Leicester

Eric Dier had another solid game for Tottenham, in their 3-1 victory over Leicester and is continuing to prove critics wrong, under Antonio Conte. The defender has been producing a number of good defensive displays alongside Ben Davies and Cristian Romero, which is what Spurs need to keep up, in the final four games of the season.

Dier has now made 36 appearances this season, starting in every Premier League match he has featured in. The 28-year-old has faced a lot of criticism from fans in the past, but has made a major improvement under Conte and is now one of the first names on the team sheet.

The Lilywhites are still fifth in the league and remain two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal. Tottenham still have to play the rescheduled North London Derby and face a trip to Anfield, in their ongoing battle for a spot inside the top four.
