Leicester manager deployed him as a left-winger and he showed glimpses of brilliance particularly in the first half which ended goalless.

Riyad Mahrez's fourth goal of the season quickly cancelled out Tottenham's opener and maintained Leicester's unbeaten start.

Tottenham broke the deadlock with nine minutes to go when Dele Alli converted Nacer Chadli's cross from close range.

But Mahrez, who had earlier hit the post, replied just 90 seconds later with a fierce left-footed finish.

The Foxes went closest to taking three points when Hugo Lloris kept out Wes Morgan's header.

Vardy was his usual energetic self, causing Spurs plenty of problems without ever looking like scoring himself.

Kane, who is yet to score this season after notching 31 times in 2014-15, had a poor first half but showed flashes of his old self in the second period, notably when he forced his way past two Leicester defenders.

Mahrez who was the game's star performer and the Algerian's goal capped another fine display on the wing.
