The country is behind Leicester - Arsene Wenger

– Leicester crashed Manchester City with 3-1 score

– Arsene Wenger speaks about Leicester’s success

Leicester City are now officially the favourite to win the EPL this season after an outstanding performance against the second placed Manchester City. Leicester refused to read the script to produce a magnificent performance to score three good goal at the Etihad.

The first was scored in the third minute by Robert Huth from Mahrez free-kick. A lightning fast counter-attack produced the second goal.  Mahrez makes a great solo run and weaved his way past opponents before unleashing a cracking shot from the edge of the box. The third was another set-piece, whipped in from a corner and Huth was in the right place at the right time.Manchester City rallied in the final minutes with Aguero connecting with a perfect cross from Bersant Celina to reduce the deficit. Too little too late! It was a pulsating and entertaining encounter, a wonderful spectacle for football lovers. Leicester are now six points clear at the top, throwing down the gauntlet to the rest – catch us if you can.

After the game Arsenal manager said: “The advantage they have until the end of the season, apart from our fans and the City fans and Tottenham fans, the rest of the country is behind Leicester. You reproach me about not buying big names but you will support the team who have no big names.I think it’s great to see Leicester doing so well.You always ask me, ‘Why do you not buy a big-name?’ but Leicester is a fantastic example that football is not only about just spending the money.”
