The secret behind Leicester City’s shock title charge

English Premier League (EPL)’s top scorer Jamie Vardy has signed a new contract with the leaders Leicester City.

Leicester moved five points clear at the top with a 3-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

Leicester stunned Manchester City 3-1 on Saturday to bolster its bid to become the unlikeliest champion in English football history.

And Schmeichel, at the club during Leicester’s struggles in the Championship, says they have now set such high standards that conceding a late goal to Sergio Aguero soured the superb success against his former team.

“I hope [Leicester] win it”, Pearce told Sky Sports News. So it’s important not to look down or behind you.

Fuchs put in a good display at the back against City, also swinging in the corner which Robert Huth headed home for the game’s third goal.

They are 13 games away from beating the Premier League’s elite to the title, and what would go down as a quite incredible feat.

“I do not think it’s a ideal formula but football is not chemistry, [there are] no universal rules”.

Every team in the Premier League would trade places with Leicester right now but Aston Villa will be looking at the Foxes with more envy than most.

Just gatecrashing the Premier League’s top-four to gain access to Champions League riches seemed an impossible feat for aspirational sides.

One of the first tasks for the manager known at Chelsea as the “Tinkerman” for his constant changes to the lineup was winning over wary Leicester players.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said after the win: “It was a must-win game – we had not won for a while”. Leicester has the advantage of being the underdog, its players full of the hunger that comes from knowing rejection at some point in their careers. They sit six points behind City but don’t look all that capable of stringing together the necessary results to make a turnaround. Now they can remember the pressure they faced last season, they can smell how it was and stay calm this season.

“But we need to accept that we are Manchester City, we aspire to win as many trophies as we can”.

Mahrez then showed why he, along with team mate Jamie Vardy, should be a leading contender for Player of the Year honours when he doubled Leicester’s lead following a swift break, taking N’Golo Kante’s pass to advance and fire the ball past Joe Hart.

“In the way we are playing the season in every competition, every game is like a final, but it is very important just to focus on Tottenham now”. “It was important to me that they all ran hard”.
