UK Back Pages: Leicester City Hailed as Title Favourites After Topping Newcastle

What started as a fluke turned into a dream and is now a reality. 

Leicester City are on track for the most unlikely win of the Premier League era. 

The Foxes defeated Newcastle on Monday night to move five points clear atop the Premier League table, five in front of Spurs and 11 ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand. 

Shinji Okazaki provided the heroics, scoring a wonderful bicycle kick. 

They're the favourites in the Mirror, and Harry Redknapp is returning to football at Derby County.

The goal was "Shinsational" in the Sun, while Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola was apparently not thrilled about the possibility of again sparring with Jose Mourinho along with an Eden Hazard link to Real Madrid.

Okazaki is the cover boy in the Star, which reports that Wayne Rooney hopes to return to action in April.
