#2 Spurs defence finally breached from open play
It took ten game-weeks and a visit from the defending champions to penetrate the Spurs defence. They managed to keep a clean sheet against league leaders Manchester City, who have scored the most goals (24) so far this season alongside Liverpool. Commendably, the Londoners had only conceded four times in the league before Ahmed Musa’s second half equaliser.
None of those four came from open play. Ross Barkley (free kick), James Milner (penalty), Ben Gibson (header from a set-piece) and Nacer Chadli (flick from a corner) were the only ones who had managed to put the ball past the Londoners’ backline, thus making them the best defence in the domestic top flight so far.
Jamie Vardy played his part in the build-up play before sending a pin-point cross which Musa sent goal-bound, through Hugo Lloris’ hands. Ahmed Musa’s strike from close range hit the back of the net, sending Leicester fans into a tizzy, as the defensively sharp hosts battled to keep the visitors at bay, especially in the second half.
