Miserly Leicester can dare to dream

Leicester City 1 Southampton 0: Ahead of this match with Southampton scarves with the slogan “Leicester City, Premier League champions 2016” were on sale outside the King Power Stadium.

Prior to kick-off they may have seemed a little premature, but by the time the final whistle went there could be no denying that Leicester’s remarkable season is closing in on a fairytale finish.

There was degree of a familiarity about this win which took Claudio Ranieri’s side seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.
