James Maddison hits stunning winner as Leicester come from behind to beat Spurs

Two second-half goals saw Leicester City come back from behind to claim a 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

Both teams saw efforts ruled out by the VAR, either side of an innovative opener from Harry Kane.

Serge Aurier appeared to have doubled our lead but Heung-Min Son was adjudged to have been off-side by the narrowest of margins and the disallowed goal for us saw the momentum swing in the Foxes' favour, Ricardo Pereira ramming home the equalizer soon afterwards.

Son saw a handful of half-chances go begging in the second half of what was an open, entertaining game in the Leicestershire sunshine but, five minutes from the end of normal time, James Maddison fired home from 25 yards to give his side the victory and send them up to second in the table ahead of the rest of the afternoon's fixtures.
