Recap

Leicester found Norwich a tough nut to crack at the King Power Stadium. The visitors adopted a 5-4-1 structure when out of possession, a stingy tactic that blunted the Foxes' attacking menace, something noted by OptaJoe:

But Ulloa came off the bench to spare Leicester's blushes with a minute to go. His goal has piled on the pressure for the Foxes' title rivals.

Match of the Day host Gary Lineker applauded manager Caludio Ranieri's decisive changes:

Earlier, West Ham United moved up to the doorstep of the top four after seeing off Sunderland by a narrow margin. Michail Antonio got the goal via a smart finish, one that continued his recent fondness for thriving in front of the home fans, according to by BT Sport:

But the rest of the game was something of a snoozer, a fact that Hammers boss Slaven Bilic admitted, per ESPN's Miguel Delaney:

Entertaining or not, Bilic's great first season in charge of the Hammers now has the east London club dreaming of UEFA Champions League football next season. 

One of their rivals in the top-four race is Southampton, who failed to claim to yet another clean sheet after losing 2-1 to Chelsea at St. Mary's. Shane Long got the home side's goal, but Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard chided clumsy defending from the Blues:

Yet Chelsea bounced back when a Cesc Fabregas free-kick deceived goalkeeper Fraser Forster, before Branislav Ivanovic won it with a fierce header. The veteran full-back has resumed his role as a vital attacking outlet since the departure of former manager Jose Mourinho, per WhoScored.com:

Despite the defeat, Southampton are still a good bet to secure European football for next season thanks to their tough defence and plenty of pace and power in forward areas.

But the day belonged to Leicester. Punished by a last-gasp goal in their last league outing against fellow title hopefuls Arsenal, the Foxes took their revenge by extending their lead at the top.

Now the onus is on the Gunners to answer back against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
