Vardy's Late Equalizer Saves Leicester City in Season Opener Against Spurs

Veteran striker Jamie Vardy secured a 1-1 draw for newly-promoted Leicester City against Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League opener. Despite Spurs' dominance and multiple missed chances, Vardy's header in the 57th minute leveled the score. Spurs' coach Ange Postecoglou expressed disappointment over the wasted opportunities.

Veteran striker Jamie Vardy earned newly-promoted Leicester City a 1-1 draw with a profligate Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League season opener on Monday.

Spurs dominated the first half but Pedro Porro's opener in the 29th minute was the only time they could make one of a host of good chances count. Further clear-cut opportunities came and went after the break, with the visitors' wastefulness proving costly when Leicester skipper Vardy headed an equaliser into the net with 57 minutes gone.

Brazilian Richarlison missed a golden opening to win it at the death and Spurs had to settle for one point in a match they really should have taken all three from. "Disappointing night for us," Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou told Sky Sports. "First half excellent and controlled the game but wasteful in front of goal. Second half was the same."
