Comments:

League position: 5th This was Tottenham Hotspur's first home defeat in the Premier League since the visit of Everton on 13 September 2020; longer than any current team in the Premier League other than Liverpool. This was the second time that Spurs had conceded a converted penalty and an own goal in the same game in the Premier League game; also at Arsenal on 19 March 2000. 3,000 goals had now been scored in their 1,090 games in the Premier League (for 1,633, against 1,367).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City would now be in the top two of the top division at Christmas in consecutive seasons for the first time in their history. The Foxes had now won six of their seven away games so far in this Premier League season (lost one). They had not previously won more than four of their opening seven away games in a season in the top division. Jamie Vardy had now scored 19 goals in his last 19 away games in the Premier League. Leicester City were awarded a penalty in added time at the end of the first-half following a VAR review for a foul. James Maddison scored after 48 minutes but the goal was disallowed following a VAR review due to an offside decision.
