Leicester is another step closer to the biggest surprise in Europe this season. "Foxes" took away to Crystal Palace, which did not allow his pursuers to approach them and just seven games remaining are still strong leaders.
The success of "Selhurst Park" came with 1: 0 and only goal fell after the combination of the "usual suspects", but with little swapped roles. This time Jamie Vardy handed and Riyadh Mahrez scored and guests went home with three points.
The game started double-edged, as early as the 19th minute the leader in the standings could lead. Then Mahrez get the ball near the goal area, but he was not particularly difficult for goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey goal and fell.
In the 30th minute came the best situation for Palace. Then Wilfried Zaha get very good ball and shoot extremely dangerous, but ultimately he missed a few centimeters wide.
It ended up 34th minute when he hit the only goal in the game. Vardi then Jamie came in the box with a powerful pass parallel to the goal line Riyadh Mareza found that with no less powerful shot pierced Hennessy for 1: 0.
Almost immediately Londoners could have drawn level but it passed each on the brink of the goal. Then Yannick Bolasie found himself in the box and hit the ball hard, but goalkeeper "foxes" showed feline reflexes and wineries.
After the break there were no less interesting moments, but no more goals fell. After 47 minutes, Shinji Okazaki missed to score a second goal, which finally kill the intrigue, then Jamie Vardi twice failed to score 2: 0.
This aristocracy front of the goal could not play a bad joke of Leicester in the final minutes. In the 93rd minute Damien Delaney fired a powerful volley from the penalty area, but the ball hit the crossbar and thus the victory of the guests was saved.
They now have 66 points on top and continue to be confident in front of his pursuers, but the miracle they look closer. Crystal Palace did still without a win this year and with 33 points is close to the relegation zone.
From this area, making the team of Norwich, who took an important victory away to West Brom. "Canaries" prevailed by 1: 0 with a goal from Robbie Brady in the 50th minute, which was precious and the price of three points.
So Norwich garnered 28 points and out of the danger zone where now left Sunderland, Newcastle and Aston Villa. West Brom did continues to languish quietly in the middle of the table and with his 39 points can be calm about his future in the elite, but nothing more.
