The Foxes’ unbelievable form and pluckiness came to the fore yet again on 83 minutes, when Robert Huth’s lovely weighted header floated into the roof of the net to send the travelling support into raptures.
It’s a loss that could derail Tottenham’s title aspirations and puts them under pressure to retain fourth place, while Leicester continue to defy the odds as their fairytale season continues.

You just can't dislike Ranieri. So calm. So professional. Just a thoroughly nice bloke. Great times to savour being a #lcfc fan ??

Worst possible outcome of that loss is if Tottenham somehow come to the conclusion that panicking and overpaying for Berahino is the answer.

Leicester City keep going and going. Massive chance for them for Champions League football. Insane

Remember #LCFC's fixture run of death that was going to show what a fluke they are? It's over, & the Foxes are level on points at the top.

To be fair, Eriksen has concerned me more recently than Carroll has #coys

We must finish what we create. Credit to Leicester, their game plan worked. I remain positive; I know we will see great things at WHL #COYS

Remember. #LCFC don't have strength in depth, haven't played anyone yet, are too reliant on Vardy & Mahrez and their bubble has burst. Lolz.

Easy to not notice the enormous German all by himself in the box on that corner kick. #THFC-LCFC

Well, that was rather intense. Just left with an overwhelming feeling of bitter disappointment. But we move on #coys #thfc #backtowork

So we lost, 1-0 to a team that are joint top. Not ideal but hardly evidence that the wheels are coming off #thfc #coys

Whenever Poch says we can manage top 4 without signings it is a blatant lie. We cannot. #THFC #COYS
