Leicester City have got the 2015/16 spirit back

It was Leicester City’s mental strength, passion and the spirit that combined to lead them to the Premier League title more than anything. Against Manchester United, we saw more of the same perhaps for the first time this season, as they fought all the way to the end to snatch a point even with a man down.

There aren’t many teams in the league who could have managed to do the same for the obvious reason that it’s Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United, and they are incredibly tough to score against with all your players on the field, let alone with 10 men. When Daniel Amartey was sent off, we all thought that was game for United, but Leicester City had other ideas.
