Tottenham’s revenge mission against Leicester ended in disappointment as Ahmed Musa earned the Premier League champions a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
Leicester beat Spurs to the title last season and they frustrated Mauricio Pochettino’s men again, Musa’s second-half equaliser cancelling out Vincent Janssen’s first Premier League goal from the penalty spot.
Hugo Lloris (capt): Solid enough showing without too many tests. 7 (out of 10)
Kyle Walker: Kept his shape and offered a constant attacking outlet. 7Jan Vertonghen: Bested in the air several times but did not drop any clangers. 8
Eric Dier: Composed on the ball and solid at the back too. 7
Danny Rose: Kept Riyad Mahrez quiet on the flank and attacked with purpose. 8
Victor Wanyama: Mistake gifted Leicester the break that led to Ahmed Musa’s goal. 5
