Steve Cooper will be ecstatic with how his side dug deep and competed against highly respected Premier League opposition in Tottenham, who finished fifth last season.
Spurs made a quick start to the game, attacking on the front foot from the first whistle, with their goal coming from Pedro Porro in the 29th minute.
The goal was assisted by James Maddison, who received a mixed reception, returning to the King Power for the first time since his departure in 2023.
The tide turned in the second half, with Leicester fighting hard to get level.
Their efforts were eventually rewarded when winger Abdul Fatawu floated a delightful cross to the back post, where Jamie Vardy was ready to head the ball home.
The Foxes managed to brave a late storm from Tottenham, resulting in the sides having to settle for a point.
Here is how the Leicester players performed:
He made some great saves throughout the match, keeping five Tottenham shots out and helping to keep Leicester in the game.
However, his distribution could have been better, with wayward kicks on a number of occasions, with 36% passing accuracy, according to 'LCFCDATA' on X.
James Justin- 7
Early on, he gave the opponents on his side too much respect by not getting tight enough. After the early Tottenham onslaught had settled, he grew into the game, becoming an attacking option in the second half.
Justin also needs to be credited for keeping Premier League powerhouse Heung Min Son quiet until he was substituted in the latter stages of the match.
Wout Faes- 7
Faes looked very assured at the back and dealt with the high press of the Spurs’ attackers well.
He also made some key interceptions throughout the match and commanded his backline, looking like a leader.
There were question marks around Vestergaard coming into the season, whether he can keep up with the pace of the Premier League, but they have been put to bed after that dominant performance. 65-million-pound man, Dominic Solanke barely got a sniff of the Leicester goal, and that was due to the great work from the Danish giant.
His distribution too was outstanding, being the catalyst for Leicester attacks on many occasions.
Similarly to Justin, Kristiansen was exposed early on, however, this was due to the shape of the whole team, which left space out wide.
He put in some great crosses in the second half and is proving to be a good attacking outlet when overlapping.
Harry Winks- 7
It was a very safe and simple performance from Harry Winks, keeping up his consistent performances from last season.
He kept Leicester ticking at times and very rarely gave up possession of the ball.
A great goal line clearance early on to prevent a certain Tottenham goal, but the Nigerian struggled to keep hold of the ball and a lack of communication left central areas of the pitch absent at times.
Abdul Fatawu- 8
It was a dynamic performance on the right-hand side for Fatawu in his premier league debut.
He struggled to get into the game in the first half, but as the game went on, you could see his confidence building; beating Destiny Udogie on multiple occasions, eventually putting in a decisive cross that was finished off by Jamie Vardy.
Unlike a lot of the Leicester players, he started well with some nice touches, but dropped in and out of the match, and looked tired in the latter stages.
But it is clear to see why the Fulham fans loved him, with his constant hard work and dedication to the team.
Arguably Leicester's best player on the night, he excited the Foxes fans nearly every time he touched the ball, with his magical footwork and decision making.
In the 79 minutes he played, he had 39 touches and 18/21 accurate passes, a great debut for the Argentine.
Jamie Vardy- 7
Jamie Vardy did as Jamie Vardy does, he found the back of the net for the team. He drifted in and out of the game but kept his nerve to find the all-important equaliser.
Substitutes
He wasn’t on long enough to make a significant impact, but he worked hard to keep the ball in a new position up-front.
He didn’t look too interested when he came on, with Leicester losing a lot of attacking threat when he replaced Buonanotte.
Not on the pitch for long, but he won the ball back in defensive areas to relieve the late Spurs pressure.
