Spurs edge seven-goal thriller, Leicester win plagued by Maddison injury

Tottenham once again had to come from behind at the break as goals from the in-form Crysencio Summerville and Rodrigo either side of Harry Kane's equaliser put Leeds in front. Jesse Marsch's men won a 4-3 thriller against Bournemouth last weekend, but were this time on the receiving end of a thrilling comeback. Ben Davies' powerful strike made it 2-2 before Rodrigo restored Leeds' lead.

Tottenham have made a habit of second half fightbacks this season and rescued the three points as Rodrigo Bentancur scored twice in the final 10 minutes to move Antonio Conte's men up to third. Newcastle can go back above Spurs should they inflict a third consecutive league defeat on Chelsea at St. James' Park.

Leicester's rise up the table continued but could come at a cost for England. Maddison's stunning form forced his way into Gareth Southgate's squad and he opened the scoring with his seventh goal of he season. But the midfielder hobbled off shortly after with what appeared like a hamstring injury. Harvey Barnes added a second for the Foxes 12 minutes from time to leave West Ham one point above the relegation zone.

Everton are also only a point above bottom three after a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Bournemouth with Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Jaidon Anthony on target for the Cherries. Nottingham Forest moved off the bottom as Morgan Gibbs-White scored the only goal of a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
