Review
Leicester appeared to be on their way to a win over WBA after taking the lead through Andy King, who helped his side complete another comeback just before half-time. Jose Salomon Rondon had given the visitors the lead before Daniel Drinkwater tied things up after 31 minutes, and when King scored, manager Claudio Ranieri's men appeared to have all momentum.
La Liga blogger Rafael Hernandez was already just about anointing the Foxes:
But as West Brom have done so often this season, they fought back and found an equaliser through Craig Gardner. The Baggies have struggled against some of the lesser clubs in the league this season but remain a tricky challenge for the top sides, and Tuesday proved no different.
Leicester's lead in the standings is now three points, but Tottenham Hotspur can tie them on points at the top of the table by beating West Ham United on Wednesday.
Per scorer King, the Foxes gave away two points, per BBC Match of the Day's official Twitter account:
Chelsea cruised to an easy win over Norwich City thanks to an early goal from youngster Kenedy, who continues to flash his impressive potential whenever he gets the chance to play.
The 20-year-old Brazilian scored within the first minute of the opening whistle, the fastest goal of the season, and Diego Costa doubled the Blues' lead just before half-time. Per OptaJoe, it was proof of the visitors' efficiency in front of goal:
The Canaries failed to do much during the first half, but Nathan Redmond pulled a goal back midway through the second to hand the home fans a glimmer of hope.
Despite a late push for an equaliser, Chelsea hung on to their one-goal lead, continuing their fine run of domestic results and moving one step closer to a ticket for next year's UEFA Europa League.
Aston Villa's rough 2015-16 campaign continued with a 3-1 loss against Everton, another disappointing performance from the hosts. The Daily Mirror's Liam Canning couldn't help himself:
Tuesday's result had just as much to do with Everton's strong form, however. The Toffees put together some fantastic attacking movements, and Ramiro Funes Mori, Aaron Lennon and Romelu Lukaku all got their names on the scoresheet.
Rudy Gestede pulled one back for the hosts with 10 minutes left on the clock, but it was too little, too late for Villa, who appear destined for the drop.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth booked a 2-0 win over Southampton that puts some distance between the Cherries and the relegation zone, and Sunderland and Crystal Palace shared the spoils, drawing 2-2. The draw sees the Black Cats leap over Norwich City in the standings, courtesy of a better goal differential.
Manchester City will visit Liverpool on Wednesday, and Spurs cross London to take on West Ham United. Meanwhile, Arsenal face Swansea City, and Manchester United take on Watford.
