Leicester marked their return to the English Premier League with a 1:1 draw against top-four contenders Tottenham in the opening round of the championship. Before the first whistle, a minute's silence was observed for former Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare, who has passed away aged 60.
At the King Power Stadium, Spurs started well and had a few good chances in front of the Foxes' goal, but were unable to overcome keeper Mads Hermansen. The logical thing happened just before the half-hour mark when Pedro Porro scored after an assist from James Maddison.
However, Ange Postecoglou's men did not hold onto their lead, conceding an equalizer in the 57th minute. The 37-year-old striker Jamie Vardy was accurate for the home team. The Foxes' ageless marksman did not fail to tease the opposition fans, showing them that Leicester have a Premiership title - won in the 2015/16 season - unlike the Londoners, who do not have one on display.
No new goals were scored until the end, so the two teams shared the points. In the next round, Tottenham welcome Everton, while Leicester visit Fulham. | BGNES
