Leicester City took advantage of a draw between challengers Tottenham and Arsenal on Saturday to open up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League as one of sport's most unlikely stories moved another step closer to reality. Leicester's 1-0 win at Watford, sealed with a Riyad Mahrez goal, put them five points clear of Tottenham and eight ahead of third-placed Arsenal after the two north London sides drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane. Mahrez was the hero for Leicester, his left-foot strike, 11 minutes into the second half, sealing all three points for Claudio Ranieri's side.
