EPL: Leicester Defeat Norwich, Move Five Points Clear

Leicester City moved five points clear at the top of the English Premier League with a 1-0 win over Norwich City in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Leonardo Ulloa kept Leicester’s title bid alive with a dramatic late winner to deny Norwich a priceless point.

The substitute fired in his third goal of the season from close range with just two minutes left

Claudio Ranieri’s side had struggled to break down a stubborn Norwich side who deserved a point.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s resurgence continued as Branislav Ivanovic scored a last minute winner to give Chelsea all 3 points at Southampton.

The Blues fought back from being a goal down thanks to Cesc Fabregas’ cross-cum-shot in the 75th minute before Branislav Ivanovic’s close-range 89th-minute header then secured a victory

Stoke City beat Aston Villa 2-1, while Watford and Bournemouth battled to a goalless draw.

Earlier in the day, Michail Antonio’s 30th minute strike had helped West Ham United beat Sunderland 1-0 in the day’s lunchtime kick-off.

Antonio scored the winner after cutting in from the right and bending in a left-footed effort past Vito Mannone.
