Leicester City 1-0 Southampton

The unbelievers will see only another win by the narrowest of margins. That doesn’t matter. Seven points. That is what counts. Leicester are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, in April. Think about that for a while. We have never seen anything quite like this.

Norwich went first in April once, back in 1993. ‘The most surprising arrival at the top of the table since Banquo’s ghost,’ some wit in the Sunday Times called it. But it was different. Norwich were a point ahead and Aston Villa and Manchester United below them both had games in hand.
