Claudio Ranieri buoyed by Leicester performance in Tottenham draw

Claudio Ranieri claimed Leicester found their fighting spirit after they came from behind to draw 1-1 at Tottenham on Saturday.

Ahmed Musa levelled for the Foxes early in the second half after Vincent Janssen had scored from the penalty spot.

The point is Leicester's first away from home this season after four successive defeats on the road.

"I am very pleased, we played very well against a big team," Ranieri told Sky Sports. "The last match Spurs played at home they beat Man City 2-0 and we put in a fantastic performance with our Leicester spirit.

"It hasn't been good so far because everybody wanted to find the spirit, but not together. But I saw our spirit today.

"The spirit helped us last season and it must help us again, not to win the title but to fight."

While last season's champions are eight points behind Spurs in the table, they battled back well at White Hart Lane after conceding a penalty late in the first half.

Robert Huth appeared to be aggrieved that the spot-kick was given after he tussled with Janssen in the box.

Asked for his view on the decision, Ranieri said: "The referee gave the penalty but when the free-kick was taken there was a foul against us and it wasn't a penalty, but all the managers say same the thing.

"It's OK, it was important we reacted well and wanted to win until the end."
