CLOSE!
Kane drags a shot across the face of goal and wide of the target. But that is the type of response Pochettino will have wanted from his side.

Tottenham, who start the game with the same personnel, get the second half underway. A much improved performance is required from Pochettino's men.

Wow, what a first half. This performance by the hosts is reminiscent of their title-winning season! Two moments of magic from Vardy and Mahrez give Leicester a comfortable lead at the interval.

GOAL - Leicester 2-0 Tottenham! SENSATIONAL MAHREZ!
Ndidi plays the ball to Mahrez on the right channel and he is allowed to cut inside onto his left foot and curl an unstoppable effort into the top corner from 20 yards.
Vardy's opener was spectacular, but this is every bit as good!

44'
Eriksen finds space on the edge of the box and tries to pick out the run of Kane, but can only find a Leicester shirt.
One minute of injury time to be played.
43'
Leicester win back possession in midfield and launch an attack on the break. However, Aurier is a tad quicker than Albrighton and slides the ball out for a throw-in.
The Foxes are playing great stuff at the moment.
41'
Tottenham work a corner short, with Eriksen passing to Aurier. The wing-back finds some space, but his effort from 25 yards is straight forward for Schmeichel.
39'
Alli picks out Sissoko who delivers a first-time low cross into the box, but Chilwell is alert to the danger and clears behind for a corner as Tottenham step up their search for an equaliser.
36'
OVER!
With incredible technique, Kane picks out Rose with a switched pass using the outside of the boot. Rose takes it down with his chest, but fires his shot over the bar. It wouldn't have counted anyway, as the referee felt he used his arm to control the ball, which he didn't.
34'
Leicester win a free-kick which is curled into the penalty area by Mahrez, picking out Morgan. However, the centre-back cannot direct his header on target.
32'
The end-to-end football continues at the King Power! Vardy finds himself in space on the channel and his cross is awkwardly dealt with by Rose who almost inadvertently turns the ball into his own net. Leicester have to settle with a corner, though.
31'
CHANCE!
Tottenham break from the set-piece with lightening pace. Eriksen finds Alli inside the box but he scuffs his shot straight at Schmeichel who saves with his feet. The ball ricochets into the path of Kane but he is an offside position.
30'
After a long period of possession from the visitors, Aurier gives the ball away to Vardy who finds a team mate in a wide position and Leicester force the corner.
28'
And now Rose overcooks his cross from deep. Pochettino looks on rather furiously - as you can imagine.
27'
Rose is finding plenty of space on the right flank, but his delivery has been really poor. He has team mates queuing up inside the penalty area, but rolls the ball behind every one of them and Leicester recover.
25'
WIDE!
Albrighton delivers a cross into the Spurs penalty box and Aurier can only head the ball into the path of Ndidi. However, he drills the ball well wide of goal from 25 yards.
23'
Albrighton is challenged by Aurier inside the penalty area. He plays the ball to Eriksen who is quickly closed down.
Tottenham aren't having things their own way at the moment.
22'
Rose's cross finds Kane who opts to check on to his right foot instead of shooting first-time with his left, and he ends up blazing his effort over the bar, much to the satisfaction of the home supporters.

Vertonghen goes in late on Mahrez and receives a booking, though there was no need for the countless rolls from the Algerian.
