Leicester hit six past Spurs to close on leaders

Leicester City cut the gap on Division 1 leaders Liverpool to two points with a resounding 6-1 win over bottom-placed Tottenham Hotspur at Holmes Park.

After Keanan Bennetts gave Spurs an early lead, it was all one-way traffic.

Foxes captain Sam Hughes equalised before the hosts then struck the woodwork four times either side of the break.

George Thomas put Leicester ahead in-between the dismissals of Spurs duo George Marsh and Oliver Skipp.

And in the last 14 minutes, the Foxes scored four more times through Darnell Johnson, a Josh Gordon (pictured) brace and Thomas again to stretch their unbeaten run to 18 matches.
