Premier League wrap: Leicester pile pressure on Spurs

Two goals in four second-half minutes helped Leicester City earn a first Premier League win since 3 December with a 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur to pile more pressure on Ange Postecoglou.

A weary Spurs had taken the lead after 33 minutes through Richarlison, but the Foxes, who had lost their previous seven matches in the division, levelled in the 46th-minute through captain Jamie Vardy.

Bilal El Khannouss made it 2-1 four minutes later with a fine 25-yard effort and with limited options on the bench due to the unavailability of 10 players, Postecoglou watched Tottenham suffer another defeat.

It is six losses from their last seven matches in the Premier League for Spurs, but it was a day to savour for Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy with his team out of the relegation zone for the first time in 2025.

Spurs fans turned on chairman Daniel Levy in the immediate aftermath and called for the long-serving director to leave the club.

Bryan Mbeumo's retaken penalty helped lift Brentford to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in soggy conditions at Selhurst Park.

He clipped the post with an initial attempt but was given another chance after VAR determined Eagles captain Marc Guehi had encroached.

Mbeumo was on target with his second attempt, breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute, before Kevin Schade nodded in a second 10 minutes from time.

Although Premier League debutant Romain Esse scored with his first touch in the 85th minute, moments after his introduction, the visitors held on.
