Leicester City managed a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League opener, marking Steve Cooper's debut as Leicester manager. Tottenham initially dominated and took the lead through Pedro Porro's first-half goal. However, veteran striker Jamie Vardy equalized in the second half, capitalizing on Tottenham's defensive lapses. The game saw a serious injury to Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who was stretchered off after a head injury. Despite Tottenham's numerous missed opportunities, Leicester's resilience earned them a valuable point on their return to the Premier League.
