Leonardo Ulloa proved an able deputy for Jamie Vardy as Leicester City took a huge step towards the Barclays Premier League title with a nerveless 4-0 win over Swansea City.
Claudio Ranieri’s side were without their top scorer Vardy after his dismissal in last week’s draw with West Ham United, but Riyad Mahrez’s early opener, a brace from Ulloa either side of half-time and a late Marc Albrighton strike ensured they got back to winning ways and piled the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur once more.
Mahrez is hot favourite to be named PFA Player of the Year later on Sunday, and it was the Algerian’s 17th BPL goal of the season that set Leicester on their way, as he capitalised on an error from Ashley Williams to open the scoring after 10 minutes.
Ulloa – who was forced off late on with a knock to the back – then powered Danny Drinkwater’s free-kick past the helpless Lukasz Fabianski on the half-hour mark, and the Argentinian’s second 15 minutes after the restart sent the King Power Stadium into raptures before substitute Albrighton rifled in a fourth late on.
Victory puts Leicester eight points clear of second-placed Spurs, who can again cut the gap to five by beating West Bromwich Albion at home on Monday.
