Shot of the century: Lester is already a champion - the people
Shot of the century: Lester is already a champion - the people
Claudio Ranieri almost crying as he walked through the field after the final whistle to applaud the traveling fans of Leicester. This victory more than anyone else their result made everyone believe that they will win the Premier League and will finish the last chapter of what has emerged as the greatest football tale ever told.
Ranieri was visibly excited after Lester closer at hand than the title. We can stop waiting to stumble to realize that they not only hold their lead and increase it to the top. It was a typical Leicester - unless you count that scored 2 times to stop the series of 4 wins 1: 0. Jamie Vardi were able to two long high balls and punished Sunderland admirably accurate finishing moves.
Now they only need three more wins to secure the title, but they have already crowned as champions of the people. Leftover final whistle Sunderland fans of "Stadium of Light" joined to one noisy and passionate army of traveling fans and cheered loudly characters Ranieri. Every neutral fan in the country should enjoy every moment, without, of course, include including those of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. They are too worried that they were overtaken by outsiders of Ranieri to enjoy the glory of Leicester. We apologize to the fans of Tottenham as they continue to struggle.
But this is the biggest surprise in an era of skyrocketed football finance, where oil billionaires and US owners bought wholesale all the talk of magic
Lester's achievement is just as beautiful, if not more wonderful than winning the title of the old First Division of Brian Clough and his Nottingham Forest in 1978. But it now becomes an era with even more unbearable tension and yet nerves Lester still endure.
The match was torn away from our ideas of classic because it was a battle in which Sam Allardyce tried to strangle the game, while Sunderland struggled for survival. That's why this victory was so valuable. Sunderland was well organized, difficult to drill and the first goal Vardi was gentle, Riyadh Mahrez - preserved and things in the middle pressed to Danny Drinkwater and N'Golo Cante to patrol and dominate midfield.
Sunderland was closest to the goal to break as Fabio Borini shot ricocheted from the master of Leicester Wes Morgan and forced goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to make amazing rescue. Leicester finally made its breakthrough in the 66th minute. Drinkwater Lee flew Katarmoul in the middle, kicked a long high ball with his quickness Vardi overcame Kabul and then tucked a low shot near goalkeeper Vito Mannone. This has become a classic combination for Leicester.
Long ball Vardi comes front and scoring. The moment you see Vardi sprint, you already know what's next. Amazing was that this was the first goal of the attacker from 7 matches. At its standards it is a real drought. Sunderland behave with dignity and not give up. They were half-hearted situations pressed, slogged are, in my 82nd groove Van Aanholt's shot was deflected, the ball fell in Jack Rodwell and reserve hit it up from short range.
Leicester finish the match without committing goal now 490 minutes. Like other lines the team back four is welded together by discarded and not particularly popular players eager to prove themselves. And they did it again. The protective box withstood everything Sunderland threw at him. Lester does not hesitate to use and dirty methods, they are disciplined and tough, vicious and stubborn. But their greatest and wonderful quality is their unquenchable spirit. Which brings them towards the title. Finally, while Sunderland desperately pressed, Vardi grabbed the second goal in the 5th minute of stoppage time after Leicester broke again with deadly speed.
