FULL-TIME
Leicester hang on for a well deserved three points! Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez's splendid first half goals prove enough for the Foxes to claim their fourth victory of the Premier League campaign.
Tottenham remain fifth and 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City. Their slim title hopes are now all but over, surely.
90'+4
The replays suggest that Rose may have kicked the ground, but it is difficult to tell.
Meanwhile, Ndidi requires some treatment.

PENALTY APPEAL!
Rose has the ball inside the Leicester box, he delays his shot and then goes to ground under a challenge! Several Tottenham players have their hands up appealing for a penalty, but Anthony Taylor isn't interested!
90'+2
Leicester are only moments away from their fourth win of the season...
90'+1
Spurs have a corner.. but Dier heads over the bar. The hosts can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

ERIKSEN MISSES A SITTER!
Oh dear, this is awful from Eriksen. Son's cross is ricocheted into the path of the Dane who has a gaping goal to aim for, but somehow screws his half-volley wide from only six yards out.
It sums up Tottenham's night.
74'
Okazaki wins the ball in midfield with a perfect tackle and releases Vardy who races clear on the break, but he tries to check inside and is tackled by Vertonghen just as he is about to unload.
72'
Son has Aurier on the overlap but the substitute overcooks his pass and Leicester have a goal-kick as yet another attack breaks down.
Tottenham have not been good enough this evening.

Is it time for Lamela to come on?!
