HAS LEICESTER CITY FINALLY SURRENDERED?

Leicester City's Christian Fuchs in action with Manchester United's Antonio Valencia


Much to the amazement of many, Leicester missed its first opportunity to clinch the Premier League title, drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday to move within two points of the most unlikely championship in English soccer in a generation.
Second-place Tottenham, which is eight points behind Leicester, must therefore beat Chelsea away on Monday to keep alive the title race alive.
Like a joke, Leicester began their premier league campaign surging to the top in few weeks. Many thought the so called big boys would soon take their place at the top but it is confounding that they remain at the top and at the verge of clinching their first premier league title. Leicester fought back at Old Trafford after going behind to Anthony Martial's eighth-minute goal, with captain Wes Morgan heading in a free kick to equalize in the 17th. Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater was sent off in the 86th for a second yellow card.
A win would have sealed the title for Leicester, a modest team from central England that narrowly escaped relegation last season and entered bankruptcy protection only seven years ago while in the third tier. Leicester's remaining games are against Everton at home next weekend and Chelsea away on the final day of the season, but it might not go that far.
The team known as "The Foxes" are still heavy favorites for the title though and their vocal, flag-waving travelling contingent made that very clear as they chanted, "We're going to win the league" over and over after the final whistle.
It would be the most implausible top-flight title triumph since Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest won in 1978. So endearing is Leicester's story that even United supporters applauded the Leicester players off the field at Old Trafford.
"We had to dig in and be resilient," Morgan said. "It's a point and it's a step in the right direction."
Ranieri's team of rejects, journeymen and unheralded foreign players has been confounding the doubters all season and they did so again at the so-called "Theatre of Dreams."
Its as though Chelsea holds the keys to the premier league title with crucial games against Leicester and the spurs coming up. Air your view, whom finally wins the title and what is Chelsea's likely position this season.
THIS IS THE INFORMATION MARKET!!!!!!!!

HOW TO OPEN UP A FOOTBALL VIEWING CENTRE AND EARN BIG

By -
Nigerians love soccer. Not just Nigerians but Africans and the world in general. We love the blues, gunners and so many others. We wish we could be present in some of these football matches, but as much as we like football, most people still cannot afford to buy a DSTV or subscribe to a cable network TV!
