Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has claimed to Sky Sports that that they Tottenham Hotspur would give them the ball back, if they put pressure on in the right areas. Tottenham lost 2-0 to


Leicester yesterday, with Vardy getting on the scoresheet from the penalty spot. Spurs struggled to break down Leicester’s defence for the entire game, with the threat of Harry Kane and


Heung-Min Son nullified. And Vardy says that his Leicester side knew that Tottenham would give them the ball back, if they pressed as they got over half way. “We’ve come here with a gameplan


and we’ve absolutely nailed what we wanted to do. It’s set us on the way to get the three points that we think we deserved,” Vardy said. “We wanted to get about them, we didn’t want to give


them much time but we knew we could let them bring it in their first third. “As soon as they got towards the halfway line, we knew we could put the press on, get the ball back, keep it,


find the spaces and create some chances.” For Leicester’s system to be so effective has to be a concern for Spurs, whose form has dipped in recent weeks. MORE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STORIES


Tottenham have earned plenty of praise for their approach this term, but they have taken just one point from their last nine games and that has caused them to slide down the table. Tottenham


are next in action on 27th December, when they take on Wolves.
