Leicester City kicked off their return to the Premier League with a promising 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. Manager Steve Cooper expressed satisfaction with the start but reminded his squad that only victories would appease the club’s fan base.

The match saw Spurs dominate the first half, taking the lead in the 29th minute through Pedro Porro. Leicester, Premier League champions in the 2015/16 season, responded with a header from 37-year-old Jamie Vardy in the 57th minute.

Having been relegated last season, ending a nine-year stint in the top flight, Leicester now faces the challenge of reestablishing themselves. "This is a Premier League football club, but we’ve got to become a Premier League team again – that’s the aim," Cooper added. Leicester will visit Fulham next Saturday.
