Leicester Edge Closer To Fairy Tale Finish

Leicester City are edging closer to making football history after drawing against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Foxes were an incredible 5,000/1 to win the Premier League at the beginning of the season.

But last season's relegation-battlers now only need two points from their last two matches to snatch the title.

Claudio Ranieri's men drew 1-1 against the Reds, and now must wait until tomorrow to pull off what would be one of sport's greatest fairy tales.

Second-placed Tottenham, who are eight points behind Leicester, must beat Chelsea away on Monday to keep the title race alive.

Leicester fought back after going behind to Anthony Martial's eighth-minute goal, with captain Wes Morgan heading in a free kick in the 17th minute.

Foxes midfielder Danny Drinkwater was then sent off in the 86th minute for a second yellow card.

A win would have sealed the title for the Foxes, whose remaining games are against Everton at home and Chelsea away.

They have never previously won the title in their 132-year history - and just seven years ago were in the third tier of English football and in administration.

While they climbed back impressively to the Premier League, just a year ago they were among the favourites to be relegated.

As recently as last April, they were rock-bottom of the league.

Sky's Sports Correspondent Paul Kelso said: "Should they win the league it would be perhaps the greatest success in English football history, rivalled only by Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest winning the league in 1978 - a year after being promoted.

"It may have few rivals beyond English football too, given the financial might of the teams they have left in their wake."
