Brendan Rodgers would have been pulling his hair out on the Leicester City touchline after Youri Tielemans appeared to fluff his lines after the Foxes were awarded an early spot-kick against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur during Saturday afternoon’s featured Premier League game.
The Foxes, who have travelled to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a blockbuster Premier League clash, were awarded a penalty kick after just four minutes after Davidson Sanchez chopped down James Justin just inside the penalty box.

Despite missing his first effort, after being gifted a retake following a keeper encroachment, Tielemans corrected his earlier mistake and smashed the ball beyond goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
