    "Dreams come true. 

    "The way that this Leicester team have acquitted themselves this afternoon has been very impressive. The Foxes have produced a wonderful away performance. 

    "They dealt with being under pressure, won the three points and extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points."

    A few responses to Ashraf's comment at 1636

    I'd be hugely surprised if City don't finish in the top four, and their manager is leaving regardless. There is a general consensus Louis Van Gaal is out of the door at the end of the year, and Chelsea have already acted on their form and sacked Mourinho. Arsenal is the only club that doesn't seem to be doing anything about the continued failed title bids.

    Richard from Birmingham

    Of last season's top 4, Chelsea sacked their manager, City and United (hopefully) are replacing at the end of season. So they have had plenty of criticism. If they struggle or don't perform they are replaced. Not so at Arsenal.

    Andrew from Camden

    Arsenal are criticised more, because the same implosion happens in the same way every season. City and Chelsea don't have a shocker from March onwards every year.

    Nah. Dimitri Payet's free-kick is easy for Thibaut Courtois to get across to and the Belgian gathers the ball.

    Leicester are two on two with the Palace defence, but with their star players Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy already withdrawn, it's the wrong two. Wasted chance.

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester

    Carnage in the Leicester box as a deep cross causes mayhem. Leornardo ducks a header and it's out for a corner. Scott Dann then gets his head on the set-piece, Damien Delaney chests it, shoots and it smacks into the crossbar. Oh how close can you go?

    Bang, bang, bang!

    Leeds fans were protesting against owner Massimo Cellino before kick-off and their mood will have only got worse - west Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield have scored three in quick succession to lead 4-1 at Elland Road.

    Harry Bunn, Karim Matmour and Nakhi Wells - who earlier missed a penalty - got the goals.

    Leaders Burnley have finally broken down Wolves to lead 1-0 through Sam Voles, while sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday are 3-0 up against Charlton.

    MK Dons have pulled one back at home to third-placed Brighton - it's now 2-1 - but the hosts are down to 10 men after Kyle John McFadzean was sent off.

    Cecs Fabregas (89 mins)

    Harsh on West Ham, very harsh.

    Cesc Fabregas steps up to roll in the penalty, sending Adrian the wrong way.

    Slaven Bilic is not a happy man. Chelsea look like gaining a point.

    Oh no no no. 

    Referee Robert Madley has had a shocker. Ruben Loftus Cheek trips over his own feet and Chelsea are awarded a penalty. West Ham's Michail Antonio, chasing back, gets a yellow.

    Watford have found the verve for an equaliser but have they left it too late? A corner is swung in to the back post but Mame Biram Diouf clears for Stoke. Nervous times for the Potters.

    Excellent time-wasting from West Ham full-back Aaron Cresswell, falling over before laying on top of the ball. He gets up the hides the ball behind his back.

    Haha, Cesc Fabregas does not like that.

    Cresswell then puts his arms in the air in a sort of 'what have I done?' fashion? Beautiful.

    Jamie Vardy is still going and going, and going. He races onto a through ball, he can see the whites of Wayne Hennessey's eyes, but from nowhere Damien Delaney makes a last-ditch tackle to deflect it out for a corner. A let-off.

    Chelsea 1-2 West Ham

    West Ham have already won at Emirates Stadium, Anfield and Etihad Stadium this season and lead at Stamford Bridge with around six minutes left to play.

    As it stands, they are in the top four and have a FA Cup quarter-final replay coming up. No mention of Slaven Bilic as manager of the year?

    Of course not, that one already has Claudio Ranieri's name on it.

    So just when you thought they were out of it (I did), Watford find a goal. Ikechi Anya shows great skill to make it to the byline, clips over a cross and Troy Deeney heads in from six yards. What is left in this game?
