Manchester City slumped to their second Premier League defeat in as many games as Leicester came from behind to sink the champions at the King Power Stadium.
It was their third defeat in four games as they slipped to third, behind Tottenham and seven points adrift of Liverpool who won 4-0 at home to Newcastle.
Tottenham's 5-0 victory at home to Bournemouth moved them into second place and made it 11 goals in their last two games.
Crystal Palace and Cardiff played out a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park and Everton beat Burnley 5-1 at Turf Moor.
Earlier, Fulham moved off the bottom of the Premier League table but will be disappointed not to have beaten Wolves as gameweek 19 began on Boxing Day.
Aleksandar Mitrovic cut a frustrated figure at Craven Cottage, seeing a number of chances passed up, until Ryan Sessegnon came off the bench to score. Romain Saiss equalised five minutes from time.
Arsenal went fourth with a 1-1 draw at Brighton before Eden Hazard led Chelsea to a 2-1 win at Watford to complete a busy Boxing Day schedule at Vicarage Road.
West Ham won their five game in six as Felipe Anderson inspired the Hammers to a 2-1 comeback win at Southampton on Thursday to send Manuel Pellegrini's men eighth.
