Leicester City's players and fans could not resist taking a swipe at Leeds United after pipping them to the Championship title. Enzo Maresca's side cruised to a 3-0 victory at Preston North End last night, leaving the Whites and Ipswich Town to battle it out for the second automatic promotion spot.
A little over two months ago, United fought back from a goal down to beat the Foxes 3-1 at a vociferous Elland Road and cut a gap that had been 17 points over Christmas to just six to the leaders. It appeared that Daniel Farke's team had blown the title race wide open and United supporters bounced to 'I Predict A Riot' by Leeds-based rock band Kaiser Chiefs at the final whistle.
City boss Maresca: “Jamie Vardy is Leicester. Jamie Vardy has always scored goals in his life and he’s going to score goals even when he’s 40, 45.“Now we finish , we have a game Saturday, and then we sit. But my feeling is that he’s going to stay – this is my feeling, if I can decide.”
