    Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "It’s a fantastic performance. Without Jamie Vardy everyone gave something more.

    “We knew we had some difficulties but with the fight of everybody we had a good match.

    “I asked for this kind of performance. I was delighted with Ulloa and Schlupp. They haven’t played a lot but I told them ‘now we need you’.

    “Mahrez is the light and when he is switched on the King Power is fantastic.

    “We know it will be tough because Tottenham are a good team but we will fight until the end.

    “We dream and now it is important to make the dream a reality. It is important to fight for that reality.”

    Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez: "Now there are three games to go and we are closer but everyone is working for each other and it is a great team spirit.

    “In this team we don’t need just one player. We are really together with our team spirit and we work for each other.

    “Sometimes I score, sometimes Vardy scores and sometimes Leo scores but we are a team.

    “It is always a pleasure to play here. The fans are unbelievable.

    “We are closer now but there are still three games to go and we have eight points more so it is all in our hands now so we have to stay focused.

    “We are getting in the helicopter now with the others and we will see what happens tonight.”

    Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa: "I’m happy because this team is unbelievable.

    “We played so well. We miss Jamie Vardy because he is a good player but we can still play well and I enjoy playing with this team and with these team-mates.

    “I am always ready to play when I can help the team and I always work for this.

    “I am happy because I could score two goals and help the team.

    “We played a really good game and it is a massive three points.

    “It is good for me because I needed confidence and after the last goal I was more confident, but I am more pleased about the three points.”

    Yousouf, London: What a season for Leicester, for underdogs, for the romantics of football. We can pick Mahrez, Vardy, Kante but the whole team play as a team even the ones on the bench. I can't imagine the spirit of this team. This is David versus the Goliath of money football.

    It was not a good showing from Swansea at all though. Just the one shot on target all game.

    Isaac, London: A year ago in Mourinho's post-title interview he was asked about who won the title for Chelsea and he said the squad players when called upon. Remy, Mikel, Cech in important moments. Same for Leicester, the entire squad has won games. Ulloa, King Schlupp, and unheralded regulars like Okazaki and Albrighton. This depth is more than expensive players. It's a mentality that is trained, and one Chelsea lost and Leicester learned.

    David Ljunggren: Mahrez just said "It was a difficult game", which shows he's delusional as well as gifted.

    "I thought today was massive for Leicester because had they slipped up against Swansea - you'd probably only rather play Aston Villa right now - then the doubt really would have started to creep in. But they will go on and win the league now."

    Tom, a title race like this is a good time to use the American concept of the 'Magic Number'. Leicester's Magic Number is 5 - meaning that any combination of 5 points gained by Leicester OR lost by Spurs will send the title to the King Power - regardless of games in hand or goal difference or anything.

    "People are talking about how Tottenham could take all points from their last games. But so could Leicester. They've only lost three games! 

    "They could go to Old Trafford and blow Manchester United away next week. They are rampant. They're running away with it - eight points clear."

    "Leicester winning the league would have to be the best achievement in domestic sport. Ever. It is that incredible. And I don't think we'll see anything like this ever again.

    "I just can't believe it. Everybody here is the same from when I was around; the kitman, the people holding the doors open. But on the pitch they are transformed. It's one of those moments when you think: I was there."
