Tottenham supporters pick out the one mistake Mauricio Pochettino made against Leicester City

Tottenham Hotspur fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

It was a game which was overshadowed by a couple of VAR calls.

The Foxes thought they had taken the lead in the first half through Wilfred Ndidi, but VAR stepped in to chalk off the goal due to an offside in the buildup.

Harry Kane took advantage of the reprieve to give Spurs the lead going into half time.

Tottenham thought that they had doubled the advantage in the second half after Serge Aurier had put the ball in the back of the net, but VAR spotted a marginal offside, meaning the goal was disallowed.

Then it was Leicester who took advantage when they levelled matters through full back Ricardo Pereira and James Maddison's 85th minute strike was enough to give Brendan Rodgers' team all three points.

It was the third away game in a row where Tottenham have lost their lead. But how did the players fare?

Football.london offered fans the chance to have their say on who impressed - and who didn't - in the narrow defeat.

And the player with the lowest rating was midfielder Victor Wanyama.

The Kenya international, who was linked with a summer move to Club Brugge, was somewhat of a surprise inclusion in the matchday squad against the Foxes.

It was even more of a shock when he replaced Moussa Sissoko in the second half and judging by his low rating, Spurs fans are of the opinion that his introduction was a mistake.

Christian Eriksen - another late introduction - isn't too far ahead of Wanyama as he failed to make much of an impact in the 11 minutes he was afforded.

The players with the highest rating are Erik Lamela and Kane, with Harry Winks completing the top three.
