Despite a strong start from Spurs, who took the lead through Pedro Porro’s 29th-minute strike, Leicester fought back after halftime. Jamie Vardy leveled the score in the 57th minute, marking a well-deserved equalizer for the Foxes.

Ndidi was instrumental on both ends of the pitch. His defensive efforts included a crucial goalline clearance in the 7th minute after a header from Rodrigo Bentancur, while he nearly scored in the 66th minute, hitting the side netting.
