Tottenham-s Premier League title challenge suffered a huge blow as Leicester moved above them into second with an impressive 2-0 away win on Sunday. Jamie Vardy-s penalty and a Toby Alderweireld own goal moved the Foxes four points behind leaders Liverpool as for once Harry Kane and Son Heung-min failed to dig Spurs out of trouble. Jose Mourinho-s men were top of the table until a last-minute winner for Liverpool gave the champions a 2-1 victory on Wednesday but they are now six points behind Jurgen Klopp-s team. Leicester have six wins from seven away games in the Premier League this season and fans will begin to dream of a repeat of their 2016 title triumph. "I thought over the course of the game we were outstanding and it was a very good win for us," Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers told Sky Sports.

But he added: "We have to start winning at home. The group is learning all the time and that-s why we-re nowhere near the finished product." Klopp described Spurs as a "counter-attacking monster" but their deficiencies when not allowed the ability to break were exposed by Leicester-s clever game plan. The Foxes did not leave themselves exposed and posed the greater threat in transition. A cagey first half of few chances saw James Maddison-s long-range shot well held by Hugo Lloris, while Kane headed over Son-s corner. But Tottenham were undone by a moment of madness by Serge Aurier in the closing seconds of the opening period when he barged into Wesley Fofana just inside the area. A VAR review was needed before referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot and Vardy drilled home his sixth spot-kick of the league season.
