Ahmed Musa cancelled out Vincent Janssen's opener as Tottenham failed to find a way past Leicester City in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw.
Last season's main protagonists in the title race remain separated by eight points in the table, but avoiding defeat on the road for the first time in 2016-17 will have enthused Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri.
Spurs were utterly dominant in the first half and were deservedly ahead at the interval through Janssen, the summer signing scoring his third penalty of the season to open his Premier League account.
A combination of Kasper Schmeichel saves, poor Spurs finishing and the woodwork had kept Leicester in the game and they capitalised just three minutes after the break through Musa.
Having come into the contest just a point off top spot, Spurs dropped further behind Arsenal and Manchester City, although next weekend's North London derby gives them a chance to immediately respond.
