The Foxes were done a great favour by reigning champions, Chelsea who last night forced Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, a result that confirms Leicester as the undisputable kings of England.
As things stand now, Leicester is topping the EPL log with 77 points while Tottenham after last night’s draw is second with 70 points. With just two more matches to go, Leicester will remain on top at the end of the race even if she loses her two remaining matches and Tottenham wins her two games.
Eden Hazard will be the toast of Leicester, as the Belgian and Chelsea struck a late equaliser to tie 2-2 Tottenham and hand the Foxes the Premier League title.
A win was essential for Mauricio Pochettino’s men (Tottenham) to maintain their mathematical chances of winning the league, and Harry Kane swooped 35 minutes in to convert Erik Lamela’s fine pass and send the visitors ahead.
Heung-Min Son doubled the advantage before the break, but Gary Cahill’s effort brought Chelsea back in touch and Hazard finished the job in the final minutes with a wonderful shot.
Chelsea players, especially Hazard had before the match openly confessed that they would prefer to see the EPL going to Leicester. Interestingly, Leicester would in their last game be away to Chelsea after dealing with Everton at home this weekend.
