Manager Steve Cooper described Leicester City's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday as a promising beginning to their Premier League return after a year's absence. Despite the encouraging start, Cooper emphasized that only victories will truly meet the expectations of the club's supporters.
Tottenham dominated the first half, with Pedro Porro scoring in the 29th minute to give Spurs the lead. Leicester, who were Premier League champions in the 2015/16 season, equalized with a header from 37-year-old Jamie Vardy in the 57th minute. After being relegated to the Championship last season, Leicester ended their nine-year stint in the Premier League.
Cooper acknowledged the nerves and anxiety within the team but highlighted their improved performance in the second half. While the draw was a positive start, he stressed the need for wins to align with Leicester's history and fan expectations. Looking ahead, Leicester will face Fulham in their next Premier League fixture on Saturday.
