Tottenham 1-1 Leicester highlights

Eric Dier admitted Tottenham are drawing too many matches in their bid to become Premier League champions for the first time.

Mauricio Pochettino's side were pegged back as they and Leicester shared a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane on Saturday, with Ahmed Musa cancelling out Vincent Janssen's penalty opener.

It was Tottenham's third consecutive stalemate in the league after they finished all square with West Brom and Bournemouth and they now sit three points off the top of the table as a result.

Pochettino's team have now gone five matches without a win in all competitions since beating Manchester City on October 2 and Dier concedes an improvement is required.

"It's very frustrating. We controlled the game from start to finish and we know what Leicester are going to do," Pochettino said. "We know their style, so we're very disappointed because we didn't create more chances and obviously didn't score enough goals.

"We'll keep playing, keep improving the way we play, try to get better and try to start winning games because we're drawing too many."

While Janssen's penalty had put Tottenham in front, they have not scored from open play for 360 minutes.

Dele Alli got their last goal of that ilk in the 1-1 draw at West Brom - and he praised the Dutchman's impact.

"He loves a penalty," Alli said. "As soon as it was given I knew he was going to run after the ball and everyone was confident he was going to put it away.

"He's a great player, it was only a matter of time before he got his first goal in the Premier League and now hopefully he can get some more."
