    Watford 0-1 Leicester

    Nordin Amrabat, a pest all day, like a mosquito who won't give in, wins a corner. He wants a free-kick because Christian Fuchs had him in an MMA choke hold at one point. In comes the delivery, headed clear.

    A free-kick from Christian Fuchs and a header by the man who always seems to score headers - Robert Huth. He's got this one a little wrong and it's wide. A half chance as he had found space.

    I seem to be writing the name of Riyad Mahrez every three seconds here. This time he overplays and loses the ball but shows the tenacity to go and win it back. Leicester are on top, we have not really seen a response by the home side at all.

    I've just seen a stat which says Watford have trailed 14 times this season and only come back twice.

    Riyad Mahrez wants to fashion shooting space again, great feet, shoots, saved. Held by Heurelho Gomes.

    Quique Sanchez Flores has the designer beard going on and looks pretty fed up, glaring at the match with no emotion on his face.

    Danny Drinkwater and Danny Simpson keep the ball nicely to win the away side a throw high up the pitch.

    Home change. Mario Suarez off, Almen Abdi on. Personally I thought Suarez had done OK but what do I know?

    Nordin Amrabat has been a nuisance today and wriggles and wrestles space to shoot. Straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

    A colleague mentions this win would put Leicester 20 points clear of champions Chelsea. Wow.

    Watford 0-1 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy epitomises all that Leicester City are. He's full of industry, confident and dangerous. He races onto a ball down the left channel and cuts into the box as the angel narrows. A cross-shot, hacked from under the bar by Nathan Ake.

    "We're Leicester City, we're top of the league." That's the chorus from the away end.

    I should tell you that the goal brought the usual Claudio Ranieri arms aloft celebration.

    All the Foxes have to do now is work their socks off and this would be a big step forward.

    It's nearly two. A clever free-kick allows N'Golo Kante crossing space and Robert Huth heads down at the back post, saved. 

    Leicester are rampant.

    Watford 0-1 Leicester - Riyad Mahrez

    YES for Leicester City. The away end is going absolutely potty, scores of fans racing down the steps to get to their heroes - Riyad Mahrez in particular.

    What a strike from the little fella, what class. A ball into the box is headed to the 18-yard line by Jose Holebas and Mahrez shapes to shoot but takes a touch onto his left foot before curling the ball high into the net. A sublime finish under pressure. 

    We move a step closer to possibly Great Britain's greatest ever sporting story.

    It does seem like Riyad Mahrez will play up top with Jamie Vardy now. Andy King, N'Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Jeffrey Schlupp in midfield.

    Mahrez gets it and feeds Schlupp, touched off for Drinkwater who fires well wide from 25 yards.

    After 57 hours, plus extra time, the Sport Relief 5-live-a-side has genuinely been brilliant entertainment over the last few days, and I'm a little sad it is all over.

    Nordin Amrabat is gutsy through midfield and holds off two challenges, N'Golo Kante cannot stop him either, can he pick a pass? Not quite. Odion Ighalo was offering a run but the ball wasn't good enough.
