Tottenham significantly outplayed the rookie in the first half. He took the lead after half an hour of play, when ex-Leicester player James Maddison found Porro, who was running into the box with an ideal cross, who beat goalkeeper Mads Hermansen with a header against the post.
However, in the first match after returning to the top flight, club legend Vardy made his mark to the delight of the home fans. In the 57th minute, the captain of the team also equalized with his head and secured a point against the favored Spurs.
English Football League – 1st round: Leicester – Tottenham 1:1 (57. Vardy – 29. Porro).
