Tottenham were left ruing a host of missed out on possibilities as Leicester held up to move into the top fifty percent of the table with triumph at the King Power.
An ingenious lob from Jamie Vardy and a crinkling shot from Riyad Mahrez offered the Foxes a healthy and balanced half-time lead.
Christian Eriksen contrived to volley large from six lawns out before Harry Kane gunned in with 12 mins to go.
Fernando Llorente then stabbed over the top from close range as the visitors hunted an equaliser fruitless.
The success is the greatest outcome since Claude Puel took charge as well as the Frenchman has collected a quietly outstanding document in his very first month at work.
The Foxes’ only defeat in his five league suits concerned runaway leaders Manchester City as well as they have edged up from 14th approximately 9th over that time.
Vardy was completely poised on the last defender’s shoulder or scampering down the channels. Wes Morgan twice came close with headers as Tottenham battled with his physicality from set-pieces. Marc Albrighton rushed and harried along with providing silver-service shipment into the fine location.
Mahrez was still short of the sort of kind that safeguarded the 2016 PFA Gamer of the Year honor, but the Algerian’s long-lasting top quality revealed as he drifted off the right wing, past Jan Vertonghen and swept house the crucial goal prior to the break.
Puel will certainly understand, however, that his predecessor Craig Shakespeare also sought to take Leicester back to the basics that won them the title, only to lack momentum after initial success.
Time will be the test of his reign.
