The Foxes' lead now stands at just five points and Mauricio Pochettino's side clearly still believe they can secure their first title in 55 years.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane reaffirmed his status as the front runner to win this season's Golden Boot award.
The 22-year-old found the net twice tonight - his first was a superb curled effort and his second arrived courtesy of a simple tap in thanks to Erik Lamela's unselfish pass.
Kane's total for the campaign now stands at 24 and he is two ahead of main rival Jamie Vardy, who is set to miss at least one game due to his red card against West Ham.
Sergio Aguero fired himself back into the reckoning with a hat trick against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon but is now three goals adrift of Kane.
Spurs face West Brom next weekend and Kane will fancy his chances against Tony Pulis' men - and indeed any team in the division.
