A stellar performance from Hugo Lloris kept the Foxes largely at bay with the
pressure now really mounting on Nigel Pearson following yet another defeat.
Tottenham closed to within two points of the Premier League's top four with a
2-1 victory over strugglers Leicester City on Boxing Day.
Christian Eriksen's 70th-minute free-kick secured all three points for Mauricio
Pochettino's side, after they had soaked up pressure from their hosts.
Harry Kane gave Tottenham a superb start with his third league goal in as
many games in the second minute, but the visitors were unable to pull further
clear prior to the interval.
Rock-bottom Leicester, who had manager Nigel Pearson serving a one-
match touchline ban for abusing a fan, levelled three minutes after the break
through Leonardo Ulloa.
Chances continued to come for Pearson's men thereafter, but they were
punished for their wastefulness when Eriksen caught Ben Hamer off-guard
from a set-piece.
