Today was agreeably free of drama for the league leaders, who never looked back after Riyad Mahrez’s opener ten minutes in. Leonardo Ulloa stood in for Jamie Vardy superbly, notching two goals to secure victory before Marc Albrighton got the fourth.
What it means is that Leicester need five points from their final three games – Manchester United (A), Everton (H), Chelsea (A) – to become the most unlikely champions in English football history.
Tottenham are now officially their only challengers; their remaining fixture are West Brom (H), Chelsea (A), Southampton (H), Newcastle (A). They will, in all likelihood, need to win them all.
Two goals for Leo Ulloa, one for Riyad Mahrez, one for Marc Albrighton. Leicester lead Spurs by eight points. Spurs have 12 to play for.
