Youri Tielemans opened the scoring for Leicester from a penalty just six minutes into the game and Spurs responded almost immediately with Harry Kane nodding home Kulusevski's cross and Eric Dier followed with a header for the second goal. 

Maddison's stunning curling shot from the edge of the box leveled up the scoring for Leicester but a defender flop from Ndidi would let Rodrigo Bentacur would steal the ball and score the third goal. 

Then, Son's curly shots from the edge of the box to beat Danny Ward to the goal twice and Spurs. Two minutes later, a through pass from Kane would set the Korean off for a strike from inside the box following a fast break and completed the hattrick.

In the other hand, Spurs maintained unbeaten run under Antonio Conte and have climbed up to second in the table with 17 points tying up with table leaders, Manchester City.
