Tottenham v Leicester: Premier League match preview

Tottenham kept themselves in the Premier League title race with a 3-1 win over Leicester, who saw Jamie Vardy miss a penalty with his first touch of the game.

Goals from Davinson Sanchez, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min inspired a fourth successive victory which ensures Spurs will finish the weekend within five points of top spot.

Vardy, who was dropped to the substitutes' bench amid rumours of a bust-up with Claude Puel, missed the chance to equalise as his spot-kick immediately after coming on was saved by Hugo Lloris, though the former England striker atoned for it later by turning home to give his side a glimmer of hope.

But Spurs made the game safe at the death when Son scored a breakaway goal, which gave them a 20th win of the campaign and kept them hot on the heels of title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

89 minutes

Oleksandr Zinchenko fancies a goal here, but cramps up as Raheem Sterling tries to weight a pass through to the overlapping full-back.

Maybe a hamstring issue for Zinchenko, who's had barely anything to do defensively.

Just the three minutes left for Chelsea to endure.

Manchester City 6-0 Chelsea. The scoreline tells the story - utter superiority.

An awful afternoon for Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea. With an FA Cup tie with Manchester United, a two-legged European affair with Malmo, and a Carabao Cup final against their opponent today to come, it doesn't get any easier for his side. They were thoroughly dismissed this afternoon.

Chelsea's biggest defeat since 1991. 

A hat-trick to equal the Premier League record for Sergio Aguero. Two for the excellent Raheem Sterling. Manchester City looked peerless through the first 25 minutes, and dominated the second half as they return to the top of the table.

Chelsea are now sixth...
