Half-Time Report: Harry Kane strike hands Tottenham Hotspur lead

Tottenham Hotspur hold a 1-0 lead half-time lead over Leicester City in their Premier League clash thanks to a strike from Harry Kane.

Harry Kane's second-minute strike has put Tottenham Hotspur ahead at the break in their Premier League clash against Leicester City.

Spurs took the lead in just the second minute of the game when Nacer Chadli found space to raid in down the left, and he found Kane in the middle, who slotted the ball past Ben Hamer.

The Foxes almost hit back when Jeffrey Schlupp picked out Leonardo Ulloa on the edge of the area, and the striker was afforded space and time to fire an effort at goal, but Hugo Lloris managed to tip the ball over the bar.

Danny Drinkwater was presented with a great opportunity to fire his side level when he won the ball in the middle of the park and drove towards goal. From 25 yards out the midfielder struck a powerful effort, but his shot went well wide of the post.

Leicester had another good opportunity just before the break as Riyad Mahrez raided down the right and dug out a cross from Ulloa to head at goal, but his effort clattered off the post and was cleared.
