JAMIE VARDY’S legs might be going – but his instincts in front of goal aren’t.
Those razor-sharp reflexes that have carried him to a new one-year deal at the grand old age of 37 are still in demand at the top level.
And doesn’t Ange Postecoglou know it.
The Spurs boss can swap and change his personnel all he likes but the club’s ability to create mayhem where there was only calm remains their overriding quality.
After almost an hour of one-way traffic, it seemed a case of ‘when’ not ‘if’ the visitors would add to Pedro Porro’s first-half header.

Whether their club analysts had identified a weakness in Leicester’s rearguard in the air is unknown.
But it certainly looked that way as almost every effort on Mads Hermansen’s goal came via an aerial route.
