Pochettino relieved to come away with victory

Harry Kane gave Tottenham a superb start with the opening goal in the second minute at the King Power Stadium, but they failed to take control of the game and allowed Leicester back in.

Although Spurs remained ahead at the break, Leonardo Ulloa quickly levelled things up in the second half and the hosts looked more likely to score again.

"I'm happy for the result," he told Sky Sports. "We started very well, scored early and had many chances to score. 

"After 20 minutes we lost control of the game. It was an open game and Leicester played very well.

"Never in the Premier League is it easy. Leicester played very well. You can never relax in the Premier League. 

"The level of our league is high and Leicester deserved more, because it didn't reflect their performance on the day."
