Ranieri urges Leicester to remain calm
The Foxes earned a narrow win at White Hart Lane thanks to Robert Huth’s header and subsequently moved level with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League
This season’s surprise package Leicester survived several nervy moments at White Hart Lane as second visited fourth on Wednesday, most notably when Harry Kane’s one-on-one effort was saved by Kasper Schmeichel and hit the crossbar in the second half.
Leicester’s resilience paid dividends in the 83rd minute, though, as Robert Huth’s powerful header from Christian Fuchs’ corner sealed all three points and saw Ranieri’s side move level with Arsenal – who are top on goal difference.
However, the Italian was keen to stress after the game that the Foxes still have plenty of work to do in the remainder of the season.
“We wanted to win but we knew it was a difficult match. Tottenham started very well and put us under pressure but we didn’t lose our confidence or shape and it was difficult for them,” Ranieri told BBC Sport.
