Spurs' title challenge under Mourinho just starting to show some cracks

As Leicester City's celebrations subsided following their second goal in this 2-0 win over Tottenham, one voice could be heard ringing out around Spurs' cavernous arena.

"Hey, come on!", Jose Mourinho screamed at his players, many of them with their heads down, trudging back towards the centre circle to restart a game they never looked like winning. Spurs have now suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season and the danger for Mourinho is that a squad whose mentality he has so regularly questioned now slips back into old habits. The damage done by Roberto Firmino's stoppage-time winner for Liverpool against Tottenham on Wednesday night could be greater than first feared.
