Tottenham lost 1-2 to Leicester City in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 27th (Korea time). Tottenham, which has been in a quagmire for four consecutive losses due to the defeat, remained in 15th place in the league table and could not escape the risk of a drop in the relegation zone.
Tottenham didn't have a bad atmosphere from the start of the game. Starting with Son Heung-min, who started, he worked hard to create a threatening attack throughout the first half. He took the lead in the 33rd minute of the first half with Hishalisson's first goal, and finished the first half 1-0 in a good mood.
The problem broke out in the second half. Leicester turned the game around at the start of the second half, pressing Tottenham hard. Jamie Vardy and Viral Elcanus scored in a row in the first minute of the second half, breaking Tottenham down.
Tottenham didn't just let go and watch afterwards. They tried hard to tie the score with repeated attacking attempts, but Tottenham's attack failed to reach Leicester's net.

In the second half, the lackluster performance reached its peak. Despite being a defender, Porro caused a dangerous situation by making several pass mistakes at the back. Tottenham's second run was also provided by a prisoner's mistake. After the prisoner's pass was cut off, the lead's pass was connected to Elcanus in the center, and Elcanus' shot shook Tottenham's net as it was.
The problem of prisoners did not stop at defense. Even though he was not a striker, he lost his chance to attack because of his confidence in excessive kicks. There were some threatening shots that hit the post, but they were greedy. There was a strong tendency to try too much shooting from outside the box, so Tottenham strikers had to watch the prisoner's shot after the penetration.

But the prisoner's choice was a shot. Although it was not a good angle to try to shoot, Porro tried to shoot instead of passing. Porro's shot hit the side net, and Tottenham players expressed strong anger at Porro. Son Heung-min also raised his hand and asked for a pass, but he couldn't hide his frustration as the prisoner immediately reached out when he lost his chance with a ridiculous shot.
The British media also criticized the prisoner's performance. England's Express gave the prisoner a low of three points, pointing out that he was "selfish and wasted his chance" despite having his prepared teammates. England's Football London was linked with all Leicester's points due to a pass mistake. He gave the team four points, the lowest in the team, by evaluating that he shot himself in two big chances.
