Only Spurs can stop Leicester City Now

By Naija Yarnings -

Mauricio Pochettino's men ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, cutting the gap at the top of the Premier League to five points in the process
Leicester City may have gone eight points clear of second-placed Tottenham with their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday but Spurs show no signs of giving up the ghost in the Premier League title race just yet.
“Leicester City, we’re coming for you” was the chant of choice at White Hart Lane on Sunday, after Christian Eriksen had side-footed home to give Spurs an unassailable 3-0 lead over Bournemouth, adding to Harry Kane’s first-half brace.
The Foxes are the talk of the town as their fairytale shows no signs of ending but Spurs are positioning themselves intelligently; they have emerged as the only true contenders to prevent Leicester’s coronation in May, with Arsenal’s renaissance at Everton coming too late to truly impact the race and Manchester City continuing to implode.
Many had written the title race’s obituary when the full-time whistle blew at Selhurst Park but Spurs were unperturbed, going about their business in the manner of a seasoned title-chaser.
