LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's hectic schedule caught up with them as they slipped out of the FA Cup in a 2-1 fourth-round home defeat by Premier League bottom club Leicester City on Saturday.

The north London club's 36th game of the season, more than any other English top-flight team, was going to plan after Andros Townsend's early penalty but late goals by Leonardo Ulloa and Jeffrey Schlupp sealed a fifth round place for Leicester.
