47'
Sky show us a graphic illustrating that Demarai Gray isn't really playing centre-forward and in the meantime Trippier raids down the right, clipping back a cross that's slightly behind Llorente, and he forces a header over the top.

Off we go again.

Leicester will be extremely vex to be behind here - they've played very nicely, and Youri Tielemans has been the game's dominant figure, by far. But they've missed chances - again - and then succumbed to a sucker-punch set-piece. Still, there's plenty left in this for them.

A bit of the pop has gone out of Leicester's passing here. But they needn't worry because Spurs are still not playing well. And here they come again, Tielemans taking an excellent hook down the left from Chilwell and striking across the ball from close to the corner flag, forcing Lloris to shovel it behind. The corner comes to nothing.
45'
There'll be two added minutes.
45'
Integrity speaks...
43'
Eriksen and Sissoko combine to find Trippier, again advanced down the right, but Maguire heads his cross away easily enough.
42'
A quiet period.
40'
Tell you what, Harvey Barnes could be a player. He lacks a bit of composure at key moments, but he's very quick and takes up good positions. A goal would do wonders for him.
40'
Leicester have gone a little quiet since conceding.
39'
Ok, it probably still won't matter, because they'd need to win the heads-to-head and both Liverpool and City seems to have their number in that aspect. But you never know.
38'
Apologies, my system crashed. But as I was saying, Leicester finally start a game in proper manner, and still find themselves behind as we near half-time. Spurs, on the other hand, will be wondering if things are just going for them. If they can only hang on until Kane and Alli return...

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Leicester City (Sanchez) Sickener for Leicester! Trippier pulls the corner back to Eriksen, loitering outside the box, near side, and he whips a glorious cross into the middle for Sanchez to diving-head his first Spurs goal. Leicester plead for offside but replays show that it's just on, and even if it isn't, it's so close that the benefit of the doubt has to go to the attacker.
33'
Eriksen lifts a ball into space down the side of the box for Son, and he lashes a shot into Maguire and behind.

How many chances are Leicester going to miss? Chilwell rinses Eriksen 25 yards from goal and then slides a fine pass inside Trippier for Barnes, who glides onto it, moves inside, and then when he should shoot takes another touch before pulling a shot wide of the near post. This is excellent from Leicester and abject from Spurs.
30'
But but but but but he plays for Gareth Southgate's England?

Spurs clear the corner but only partially, and Chilwell collects a ball ahead of a sliding Vertonghen, collapsing under the inevitable foul. Vertonghen is booked, and then Chilwell bends in a lovely low free-kick which Ndidi pokes wide from three yards... he's relieved to see the flag go up.
28'
Ndidi and Tielemans work it wide to Ghezzal and Vertonghen flicks a header behind....
26'
I agree with this. Spurs have a serviceable midfield, but it lacks the kind of class we're seeing from Tielemans because Eriksen is having a quiet one.
24'
And here comes Tielemans through midfield, so obviously Sissoko scissors in. He avoids a booking, but it's a fair summation of the game so far.
