Tottenham preserved the Premier League's only unbeaten record but failed to win for a fifth successive match in all competitions as champion Leicester earned a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Tottenham has stalled since opening the month with an eye-catching victory over leader Manchester City as last season's top scorer, Harry Kane, remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Vincent Janssen, signed from AZ Alkmaar pre-season as backup to Kane, is being relied on more than expected early in his Tottenham career but Mauricio Pochettino's team is not being clinical enough in front of goal.
