Once again, Tottenham were hampered by poor finishing and unfocused defending. Dominic Solanke was especially culpable on the striker's debut after moving from Bournemouth for a fee that could rise to £65 million.
I don't know what happened at half time in that dressing room. A really poor second-half performance from Tottenham. They'll be kicking themselves at the opportunities they did have.
Vardy made Tottenham pay for their erratic finishing with a typically predatory header, capping his surprise appearance just days after he had been ruled out by Cooper after suffering a pre-season injury.
Meanwhile, Leicester are back in the Premier League after winning the Championship to end their one-year absence. This gritty display was an encouraging start.
