Napalys Mendy, James Maddison, and Kelechi Iheanacho scored for the Foxes after the Uruguayan had given Spurs the lead, giving the home team the upper hand at the half before Harvey Barnes wrapped up the victory in the closing minutes.
In addition, after winning 4-2 at Aston Villa last weekend, Brendan Rodgers' team had come from behind to win in the Premier League while scoring four goals in the process for the second straight game.
Bentancur will undoubtedly miss the remainder of this season as well as perhaps the start of the following campaign, just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse following a poor defensive performance.
The 25-year-old had an MRI on his knee this morning (Sunday), according to Urugayan journalist Buysan, after being forced to leave the field against Leicester. It is estimated that the Uruguayan international will now miss at least six months of action due to the injury.
Hugo Lloris, Antonio Conte's first-choice goalkeeper and captain, will be out for five to six weeks with a knee problem, and midfielder Yves Bissouma will need surgery for a foot injury, which is a major setback for the team.
Having started all six of their Champions League group games as well as 17 Premier League games this season, the midfielder's goal on Saturday was his fifth in the Premier League.
