but i don't think we'd want to be anywhere but here tonight perfect playing conditions great
night for football at the king power stadium i'm derek ray and joining me in the commentary
position is the former england defender lee dixon and looking forward to bringing you action from
the premier league coming right up it's leicester city up against tottenham hotspur cheers derek
yes excited about this one interesting matchup for me we should get a good game here hopefully
well gareth bale is a player who can make a positive difference in
any game what are you expecting from him today lee he's really hit form of late
defenders are really gonna have to watch him four goals in the last three matches
and so the match is underway
well here's how leicester city will line up casper schmeichel stands between the posts wilfred and
dd plays with yuri tilemans in the center of midfield and so many different ways to configure
an attack in this case it'll be two men up front ricardo pereira indeed ball movement evans
now can they make something happen
james madison just the clearance that was needed careless in possession
has it fionacho oh good use of the ball and towards eonacho far post and a goal
now they've broken through one nil here
well here's the replay and it's a lovely ball into the box and i bet
he can't believe the time and space he's got to simply knock the ball into the net
no jump needed too easy a chance to revisit the goal
and so the action continues will there be a response from tottenham now there needs to be iron
really getting stuck in and a tottenham hotspur free-kick coming up
well they had a decent reading of that ball in
origin now aldo veda
bale
no foul spurs advantage rea is protecting it well bale
spot on with that circle
ianacho here's telemann's doing the stifling toby aldavidel
as clean as a whistle that challenge
really sitting deep now that could be problematic
vardy
kane trailing as they are what will be the thinking in the camp as you
see it late well so far i'd give this tottenham side six out of ten
they've been the nearly team it's close bit more aggressive in midfield and get
the ball into wide areas a little bit more try and stretch the opposition
that's well blocked and he's fired over the corner not quite the clearance they were hoping for
high degree of difficulty to hit it on the volley like that and it was close
well it's all about timing you've got to wait for the ball to come down and he's very very unlucky
evans
ricardo pereira fine sequence of passes ianacho promising looking ball
and with the goalkeeper
and there it is the halftime whistle
you've certainly got to give this man high marks for his work up to this pointly
well derek you're right he has played well and goals win games he's been a joy
so into the second half here and the onus is on spurs to turn this match on its head
lo celso
i'll find reading of the situation
dele alli and hey beard with it tottenham totally controlling possession however after
that the coach will be disappointed with what they produced they need to be a little bit more
clinical in front of goal an opportunity to add to their advantage but not taken
was worth an effort wasn't it too much space was given to him takes the shots
on
regulon unsuccessfully cut out
indeedy
foiling them effectively
now what can they do from here
and ali's ready wonderful block
he was flirting with trouble but the referee has decided not to hand out a yellow card
and a change for spurs at this juncture
and finding the target
well here's the replay and he'll be telling his friends in the media after the game
he was aiming for the top corner and you know what i'm gonna believe him well done
even steven won a piece in this match number 10 harry kane
ricardo pereira
madison with it
jamie vardy now not the best challenge free kick
he's been admonished by the referee he's now got to walk something of a tight rope
yeah he knows exactly where he stands look at the referee how he's told him off there
no yellow card but certainly knows what the referee's thinking
alderweireld good pressure to win the ball back high up the pitch so 20 minutes to go
eric dier kane
good looking sequence and a strong
tackle ian nacho
excellent read from alderweireld
foreign
only 10 minutes remaining here
advantage spurs steven bervine still pushing for a winner no celso
no-nonsense clearance
vardy madison
beautifully timed
eric dier here's los elso
they get the ball once more
and the referee has added on two minutes of stoppage time
this is why we adore this game late drama and now they're in front well it looks like the game
is over but no there's another chance and there it is back of the net it looks like the winner
well as we see again here the damage he started with a beauty of a through ball
and he had choices of what type of finish to apply and bang he goes for the smash lovely goal
leicester city goal number nine jamie sir the referee brings this match to an end
and it goes down as a victory for the foxes lee how did you see this leicester display
yeah there wasn't much in it to be honest really competitive game with chances at both ends
but they probably just about edged the overall and deserved the result all in all as we reflect
on the game jamie vardy certainly caught the eye lee interested to know what you made of his
performance well grabbing that late winner was the icing on the cake what a good performance from him
