Recap:
After an uninspiring first half from both sides, Leicester eventually made a breakthrough in their match 11 minutes after the break.
Soyuncu headed home after Patrick van Aanholt failed to clear a James Maddison corner. Vardy made it 2-0 in the 88th minute after a neat passing exchange with Demarai Gray the goal is Vardy’s 10th Premier League strike of the campaign, making him the division’s top scorer.
The striker has scored 19 times in 21 league games under manager Brendan Rodgers. Everton’s clash with Spurs was similarly lacking in first-half quality.
The game eventually sparked into life after the break, when Heung-Min Son was denied a penalty after going down in a collision with Yerry Mina.
Dominic Booth of the Manchester Evening News felt the Spurs forward should have been given a spot-kick, while Adam Jones of the Liverpool Echo disagreed.
The South Korean was sent off a quarter of an hour later after a foul on Gomes, with the midfielder appearing to suffer a severe injury when he hit the turf and collided with Serge Aurier.
Cenk Tosun equalized for the Toffees in the seventh minute of injury time with a header from Lucas Digne’s cross to ensure both sides shared the spoils. Tottenham is up to 11th in the table following the draw, while Everton is 17th.
