Tottenham Hotspur failed to break through the opponent’s tenacious two-line defense in round 14 of the 2020-21 Premier League, Resti City, held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 20th (Korean time). Alderweireld’s own goal continued, and he lost 0-2 helplessly, lost his first win in a row this season and fell to fourth place in the league standings. In addition, depending on the results of Manchester United and Leeds, which will be played in the following, it is possible to win the fifth place.
Tottenham will be admitted to 4-2-3-1. Sergio Regilon-Toby Alderweireld-Eric Dyer-Serge Orier formed a quartet while Hugo Joris defended the goal. Pierre-Emil Hoivier-Musa Sissoko, Son Heung-min-Tanggui Ndombele-Giovanni Ro Selso and Harry Kane were the starters of the second line.
Leicester City faced this with a 4-1-4-1 admission. With the body on top, Mark Albrighton, Yuri Tilemance, James Madison and Harvey Barnes built the second line of attack. Wilfred Ndidi positioned himself between the two lines at the front. Justin, Evans, Popana and Castagne were four behind and the goal was kept by Casper Scheikel.
From the beginning of the first half, Leicester City took the lead. Leicester City pressed hard in the central area with the defensive line and the midfielder line defending two lines. Tottenham tried to create an opportunity for Son Heung-min and Kane, but struggled to find space due to fierce defensive resistance. The ball was not possessed even in midfield by Rosso and Ndombele.
In Leicester City, Tilemance and Madison excelled in attack. In the 11th minute, Tilemance attempted an errant pass to Madison, aiming for a shooting situation, but Dyer covered and blocked it. In the 13th minute, Leicester had a free kick opportunity and Bodie tried to shoot, but Joris caught the ball that was deflected by the defender. When Tottenham couldn’t build in the center, it changed its direction of attack to the flank, but it didn’t work.
This situation continued during the first semester. In the 14th minute of Tottenham’s first half, Son Heung-min attempted a cross to Ndombele due to an opponent’s error, but was unfortunately unable to connect. After 30 minutes, Son Heung-min received a pass from Kane and handed the pass to Orie, and Orie tried to cross, but was unfortunately blocked. In the next corner kick situation, Son Heung-min’s kick led to Kane’s header, but it went high.
In the end, the winning goal went to Leicester, who took the initiative and led the game. Orier was fouled by blocking a counterattack from the left side of the penalty area in second-half overtime, and a penalty kick was declared by reading the VAR. Bodi scored this, ending the first half with Leicester leading 1-0.
Tottenham coach Mourinho, who was in the second half with a goal behind, put Gareth Bale in and operated the ‘KBS Line’. Then, in the second part of minute 4, he threw the number of victories subtracting Selso and putting Lucas Moura in. However, contrary to intention, in the process of ending a Leicester cross in the second half of the 14th minute, Alderweireld dedicated an own goal and allowed an additional goal and went 0-2.
On the other hand, Tottenham had a series of shots from Harry Kane in the 14th minute, Son Heung-min in the 26th minute and Bale de Gare in the 28th minute, but they all missed. The match ended in a 0-2 total defeat for Tottenham, risking an extra goal for Jamie Bardy in the 37th minute and Madison in the 40th minute.
