Great emotions at the King Power Stadium, Claudio Ranieri and his Leicester manage to win the three points thanks to a goal by Ulloa in the 89th minute in the 27th of the Premier League, reinforcing their supremacy in the standings. After a game of suffering, against Norwich it was the Argentine striker, served by Vardy, who put his side ahead with an empty-goal tap-in. The Foxes now find themselves +5 up on Arsenal and Tottenham, who are engaged on Sunday.

Chelsea, on the other hand, found their second consecutive comeback victory against Southampton. At S.t Mary’s the hosts took the lead thanks to Long’s goal. In the second half, first Fabregas rebalanced the game and then Ivanovic in the 89th minute, sent the ball into the net with a framing shot from a corner kick. This success momentarily moves the Blues back to 11th place in the standings as they await Everton.

The Blues were able to win the match.
In the lunchtime match West Ham won at home 1-0 against Sunderland, a left-footed drive by Antonio being decisive. Three points also for Stoke, dragged along by a double from Arnautovic against an increasingly last-place Aston Villa.

The only draw of the day was a deadlocked one between Watford and Bournemouth.
