Leicester City Fan Wins £5000 from £5 Bet
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri was full of praise for his players after their 3-2 win at Everton ensured they will top the Premiership table at Christmas.

“It’s the first season we’ve been top of the league so it’s important that the players don’t think about it”. “Maybe here there aren’t any champions but there is a team with a great spirit”, said Ranieri.
While Jordan Henderson and James Milner are arguably better players, on current form they miss out to Lucas Leiva as the Brazilian has become a pivotal player under Jurgen Klopp.
Ranieri said: “I’d like to maintain everyone but I understand if somebody wants to go”. I thought we stopped them completely.
Chelsea began the post-Jose Mourinho era with a 3-1 win over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge to ease away from the Premier League’s bottom three on Saturday while Leicester City moved five points clear at the top.
And when asked if Leicester could go on to win the league, O’Neill, now boss of the Republic of Ireland, told BBC Radio 5 Live: “It is an extraordinary run, it is absolutely phenomenal”.
“We must enjoy, play free and without pressure”. But if it’s insane in this way, I am very happy. With Marcin Wasilewski, Shinji Okazaki and Andy King all being drafted in, Ranieri has hailed these players for a “very good performance”.
“There’s a point where you think you might be too ill to play and might not be able to help the team but I don’t think I was at that point”.
No one can argue with the role the supporters have played in backing their team and Morgan accepts they can ride that wave of optimism. It is stupid if we have pressure. Why?
Ranieri’s comments would have seemed highly complimentary to Mahrez last season, but might raise eyebrows this term given Coutinho has scored five times, assisting on three occasions, and Lallana is yet to find the net, laying on just two goals.
Mahrez signed a new four-year contract with the club, which looks to have been a smart decision for both parties after the Algerian global winger has set the Premier League alight.
He said: “I agree with these people when they say Arsenal are favourites or City are favourites”.

After two scruffy goals at West Ham and Newcastle this season, Okazaki’s third again came away from home but it found its way straight to the net this time, nicely dispatched beyond the diving Leighton Baines and keeper Tim Howard at pouring Goodison Park.
