Ranieri already has his revenge: Leicester leader and 'Mou' with Drowning

Leicester confirmed their aspirations and closed the sixteenth day of the Premier League with victory over Chelsea flavored revenge, which climbs to the leadership of Claudio Ranieri and puts the team of Jose Mourinho just one point above the relegation zone.

Ranieri already has his revenge against the coach who succeeded him on the bench for Chelsea in 2004, and that, when they met in Italian football, joked about the age of the Roman coach and his difficulty learning English.

Now, coach Ranieri is currently in Leicester Premier and fashionable outfit, while Mourinho must respond every week to doubts about its continuity. As much as 'Mou' repeat that what is concerned is the distance to the top, you're forced to look down. The threat of relegation begins to fly over the "blues".

In the King Power, while the "foxes" were played to confirm that may be more than a surprise, Chelsea needed victory to show that we must not bury his title in a season that almost all fail.

But the current set of Mourinho's team a disoriented, with no clear pattern of play, with Cesc again in banquillo- and many problems with the goal.

True to its hierarchy, he dominated the entire first half but did not create more danger than a header from Nemanja Matic, the exit of a corner (M.36).

Nor he was lucky in the "exchange" of injury, because the output of Danny Drinkwater (m.16) was less traumatic for the opponent that Eden Hazard for the "blues", replaced by Pedro on the half hour of play.

Leicester had it clear, because it has a scorer in grace (Jamie Vardy) and a genius (the Algerian Riyad Mahrez). Between the two they have scored eight goals more than the entire Chelsea.

And between the two wins which has so far been the biggest haul of the season at the King Power Stadium. In 34, Mahrez took a cross to volley Vardy, ahead of the sleeping behind Chelsea. At the beginning of the second half, the Algerian franc advantage of the passivity of César Azpilicueta, down ball inside the area and sent away from Courtois.

Still lost, desperate, Mourinho ushered Cesc instead of John Terry and although Chelsea regained hope with a goal from Loic Remy head, a pass from Pedro (m.78), its overwhelming end harassment, with five extra minutes in injury time, did not help but to show the impotence of an assembly fails to set straight.

Ranieri secured a victory that will allow them to extend one of the questions that English football monopolize debates: Will it resist to the point of fighting for the title? The other Roman Abramovich to endure -how Mourinho- also gaining strength.
