Foxes stomp on the Swans and go eight points clear

 

Leicester City are now officially in the most difficult moment of their title run, they needed a victory in order to get into the last three games with the confidence they need to clash against heavyweights like Manchester United and Chelsea. The Foxes got a visit from Welsh club Swansea City, a weak side that was a real treat for the Premier League leaders who didn't miss Jamie Vardy one bit because they had Argentine Ulloa to fill the void he left after being suspended. 

The test for the Foxes started on the 11th minute of the match, Algerian play maker Riyad Mahrez drew first blood after the Swansea skipper Williams played it straight to Mahrez by mistake who slotted the ball inside the near post on his left. He was lucky enough to get that ball at that moment of the match, from this point on it all went downhill for Claudio Ranieri's side. The man of the match Ulloa, was about to leave his mark on this game. 

On the 30th minute he got in the air to connect a beautiful header after a precise free-kick taken by Danny Drinkwater. The strike was well placed out of the goalkeeper's reach, the Foxes were starting to enjoy themselves as they felt the game was leaning more and more towards them. Kante was having a fantastic time as he was fully charged to face this match, he ran throughout the whole game like it was a walk in the park. Even some jokes broke on Twitter spoofing that he ran the London Marathon before the match, just to warm up for this game.

Already on the second half, Leicester City had the game completely controlled but they still wanted some more goals to secure the victory for good. On the 60th minute Schlupp roared past his full back and eventually squared the ball for an Ulloa tap-in and the Argentine's second goal of the night. But the Foxes still wanted more blood, five minutes from the end Gray ran the length of the whole field to take a shot from a distance and Albrighton was there to finish the job after a deflection from the goalkeeper. 

This leaves Tottenham eight points away before facing West Bromwich Albion next Monday.
