Jamie Vardy still knows how to score in the Premier League.<\/div>\n
The 37-year-old striker rescued a point for Leicester in its return to the Premier League on Monday by heading home a second-half equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, which had largely dominated the first half.<\/div>\n
Tottenham had plenty of opportunities to build a bigger lead, but new signing Dominic Solanke was among those guilty of missing chances.<\/div>\n
Instead, it was Spanish defender Pedro Porro who made Tottenham\u2019s early superiority count after 29 minutes when he got between two Leicester defenders to head James Maddison\u2019s cross into the net at the far post.<\/div>\n
But Vardy, who was key to Leicester\u2019s stunning Premier League title win in 2016 and has remained with the club since then, was left unmarked to head home an equalizer.<\/div>\n
A corner count of 9-0 gave some indication of Spurs\u2019 dominance in the first half but Vardy\u2019s goal changed the game completely.<\/div>\n
Steve Cooper\u2019s team suddenly looked a lot livelier and both teams had chances to win in a busy last half hour.<\/div>\n
\u201cTottenham are a really good team but we gave them too much respect, and we started getting after them and it changed the momentum,\u201d Vardy told Sky Sports.<\/div>\n
Vardy spurned a good chance in the 70th minute when he was able to run clear on goal but his low shot was saved by Guglielmo Vicario. At the other end, Richarlison sent a header wide deep into injury time with the last chance of the match.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is a disappointing night for us,\u201d Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said. \u201cWe need to be more ruthless in front of goal. We were that dominant, we should have been well away from the opposition. To be that wasteful tonight when we had so much of the ball and territory, it is disappointing.\u201d<\/div>\n
The game was halted for eight minutes late in the second half after Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur sustained a head injury. The Uruguayan received oxygen and taken off on a stretcher, but Postecoglou said he was \u201cconscious and communicating.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
