The most important win in Leicester City’s title triumph has to be their hiding of Manchester City at the latter’s own turf. Claudio Ranieri’s side went into the game as the underdogs despite their league position, but by the time the final whistle was blown, they stood five points clear the top of the table, thanks to a Robert Huth brace and a special effort from Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez.

The 3-1 win over the Blue Moon meant that for the first time in the season, Leicester City were finally the favourites to lift the Premier League title.
