3. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Leicester City – January 13, 2016

To many it seemed as though Leicester’s time at the top was over for good.

Having battled hard for the first 16 games of the season, they’d then lost at Liverpool and drawn their next two without scoring. Though the Foxes were still second in the table, they were expected to crumble at White Hart Lane.

And yet they didn’t.
