Leicster City condemn Jose's toothless Chelsea FC to another defeat

Leicester City move back to the top of the Premier League as Jamie Vardy got back on the scoring sheet

Goals from Vardy and Riyad Mahrez put Jose Mourinho’s stumbling champions to the sword.
And victory gave Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri the satisfaction of putting one over the man who took his job at Chelsea 11 years ago.

Mourinho cruelly revealed it was because they considered Ranieri a loser.
But he might have to re-think that as Leicester proudly look down on the rest while Chelsea astonishingly linger just above the relegation spots.

And it was that man Vardy who set them on their way with an early goal, followed by another Mahrez special.

Leicester managed to survive a late grandstand finish from the ailing champs which saw sub Loic Remy give them a chance of getting something with a 77th minute bullet header.

But it wasn’t enough and Leicester’s astonishing league title assault shows no sign of letting up.
Vardy scored his 15th goal of the season to show just why he’s the Premier League’s deadliest hit man.

His eleven match record-breaking scoring streak ended last week at Swansea when Mahrez snatched the spotlight away with a hat-trick. So when Leicester took the lead in the 34th minute no one should have been too surprised at the two who cooked up trouble.

Mahrez clipped the ball over and Vardy left Kurt Zouma standing with a turbo-blast of pace to meet the ball six yards out with a clinical right foot volley which gave keeper Thibaut Courtois no chance.
