Leicester Players Were Blessed by Buddhist Monks Before Man Utd Victory
Leicester provided a sensational shock in the Premier League on Sunday when they came back from 3-1 down to beat free-spending Manchester United 5-3.
It transpires that the Foxes may have had some help in overturning their visitors in the form of Buddhist monks.
According to the Daily Mail, the club's Thai owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, arranged for the monks to be flown in from the Far East to bless the players prior to kick-off.
After the match, David Nugent and Jamie Vardy were both seen wearing Buddhist necklaces while delighted manager Nigel Pearson said they could "come every week."
The monks may also have had a hand in Leicester's undefeated streak at the King Power Stadium. A week before the season began, a marquee was erected at the ground, and a blessing was given.
