    *Footballer trots out cliche alert*

    Leicester hero Riyad Mahrez says his table-topping side aren't safe from relegation yet. We think he was joking....

    Leicester goalscorer Riyad Mahrez speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't know if no-one can stop me but I need to do my best for the team, but the most important thing is the performance of the team, we did a great game and deserved the win. I have a lot of confidence, when you keep scoring and making assists it's normal to have confidence."

    Asked if Leicester were safe, he added: "We are not definitely safe, we need 40 or 42 points for that."

    If you won games on possession stats then Chelsea would have strolled this one. But they aren't and they didn't. Both teams had five shots on target and Leicester were more clinical. Only one statistic counts...

    "Unbelievable. Riyad Mahrez's goal world class, Chelsea had a right go and had numerous opportunities to get back in it but the work-rate, desire and spirit from Leicester was magnificent."

    Chelsea's players slope off the pitch as Jose Mourinho sportingly embraces his former nemesis Claudio Ranieri. The reigning champions are 16th in the top-flight - just ONE point above the relegation zone. Remarkable.

    Seconds left. Ranieri cajoles his team from the touchline, Mourinho goes ballistic at his players. Willian sees an opportunity run away from him. And that should be almost that....

    Leicester fans up the noise level as they aim to carry their men home. Nemanja Matic looks perplexed as he gives away a free-kick inside the Foxes half.

    Leicester try to seal it with a third. Leonardo Ulloa tries to bend it like Mahrez - but finds the stand behind the goal. That'll do.

    Leicester survive one of the added five. Largely because Wes Morgan digs Diego Costa to break down a Chelsea move.

    I need some oxygen - it is breathless stuff. Five minutes of injury-time for Leicester to hang on, or for Chelsea to nab a dramatic leveller. Which way is it going to go?

    Leicester 2-1 Chelsea

    Another time-sapping technique from the home side - and why not! Leicester make their third and final change. Jamie Vardy gets a breather and receives a standing ovation - possibly for providing a bag of crisps to Foxes fans before kick-off, but more likely for his goalscoring display. On comes Shinji Okazaki.

    Leicester ease the tension by slowing things down the right flank. Danny Simpson wins a throw then takes his time before flinging the ball back into play.

    Chances are arriving quicker than Tube trains at Oxford Circus. Loic Remy's 25-yard effort harmlessly drifts wide as Chelsea search for that equaliser.
