Ryan Mason: Spurs missing cutting edge

Ryan Mason says Tottenham are paying the price for failing to see out games.

Maurico Pochettino's side are still searching for their first win of the Premier League season after being held to a 1-1 draw away at Leicester on Saturday.

Tottenham took the lead in the match through youngster Dele Alli in the 81st minute, but Leicester levelled a minute later when Riyad Mahred bagged his fourth goal of the season to secure a point for Claudio Ranierri's side.

"I think it's a schoolboy error," said Mason following the draw.

"You go one nil up away from home and to concede so quickly is disappointing."

Spurs also let a two goal slip against Stoke last weekend and have taken just two points from their three opening Premier League games.

"I think we're missing that cutting edge at the minute, like I say we've gone one nil up today and blew a lead," added Mason. 

"Last week we did the same, we've not been playing badly but we need to learn to see out a game quickly and get a win." 

Leicester remain unbeaten and stay top of the league following the draw. Foxes midfielder Danny Drinkwater says he's been impressed with the club's start to the campaign.  

"We would have taken that [seven points from three] before the start of the season," he said.

"We're working hard I'm sure it will keep coming. We're looking solid, it's a massive team spirit we've got at the club. If we can keep continuing in the way we are the club will be in a great position come the middle of the season.

"We're in a top position, I think we're surprising a few other teams which is nice."

Next Saturday sees Leicester travel to Bournemouth whilst Tottenham face Everton at home.
