Jamie Vardy, who wasn't initially expected to play, made a surprising return for Leicester City and left his mark in a dramatic 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite nursing a knee injury, Vardy volunteered to play due to Leicester's lack of attacking options and delivered by scoring a crucial equaliser just before the hour mark.
Tottenham dominated the first half, with Pedro Porro giving them the lead and the team creating several clear-cut chances. However, Spurs failed to capitalise on their opportunities, allowing Leicester to stay in the game.
