Premier League Table: Week 32 Standings and Full Roundup After Sunday's Results

Timothy RappApr 3, 2016

All eyes in north London were glued to their television sets on Sunday afternoon, as Tottenham and Arsenal supporters hoped for a Southampton result against league-leading Leicester City.

But the Premier League title looks destined for the Foxes, after they clinched a deserved 1-0 triumph to go seven points clear with only six games remaining.

That Manchester United vs. Everton in the day's second matchup wasn't the marquee fixture of the day would have been a surprise to everyone before this most unlikely of seasons began.

Leicester City 1-0 Southampton

The glass slipper still fits.

Leicester moved seven points clear of Tottenham and 11 points clear of Arsenal atop the Premier League table thanks to Wes Morgan, who scored the game's only goal in the first half.

It was the club's league-leading seventh 1-0 win of the season, and their fourth straight 1-0 result, according to OptaJoe. Squawka Football shared the game's key stats:

Oliver Kay of the Times broke down the team's golden number for winning the title:

Former player and current pundit Stan Collymore shared a picture worth a thousand words, meanwhile:

What a wild ride it has been for the Foxes.

Southampton looked the better side for much of the first half. Sadio Mane should have given the visitors the lead in the 32nd minute after Graziano Pelle played him through on goal with a beautiful pass. Mane rounded goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and had an empty net, but his shot was blocked by Danny Simpson.

That wasn't without some controversy. Simpson's arm blocked the shot, though it was close to his body and the ball would have struck his chest if it didn't hit his arm. It also didn't appear to be intentional, and the referee agreed, abstaining from awarding a penalty. 

Darren Lewis of the Mirror, however, thought a spot-kick should have been awarded:

Telegraph Football disagreed:

Three minutes later, the ball fell to Southampton's Jose Fonte outside of the box and he let rip a blistering effort from distance that forced a lunging Schmeichel to tip the ball over.

Somewhat against the run of play, however, it was Leicester that would earn the game's opening goal in the 38th minute. Christian Fuchs found himself with time and space on the ball and curled a cross into the box, where Morgan headed home his first goal of the season, as the club noted on Twitter:

Morgan's strike surprised everyone, including Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated:

In the second half, Leicester found themselves defending furiously, though it was the Foxes who nearly struck on several occasions on the counter-attack. Fraser Forster came up big twice, making a brilliant save after one of his defenders snuffed out a through ball for Jamie Vardy but cleared the ball toward his own net, forcing a leaping save from the goalkeeper.

Vardy caused the Saints problems again in the 71st minute, beating his defender toward the touchline and peeling back a dangerous pass across the face of goal. It made its way to Simpson, who had a wide open net to shoot at but didn't catch it cleanly, instead putting it in the middle of goal where Forster was able to make a diving save to preserve the one-goal deficit. 

After the match, manager Claudio Ranieri was pleased with his team's showing, as he told the club's website:

"

Amazing, amazing. It was a great performance but a very difficult performance. 

They play with the five at the back and they wanted to close all the space but we suffered just one counter attack when Mane was one-on-one with [Schmeichel] and Simpson made a fantastic save. Some people said it was a penalty but in my opinion it wasn’t a penalty. 

It was very difficult every time there is an international break. I made only two training sessions with the squad just Friday and Saturday.  Some were a little tired maybe but that’s normal. The more important thing is that everyone is fighting for the result and there is a fantastic spirit. 

It’s a very good time for Morgan to score a goal, but if he doesn’t score, Vardy or somebody else will score.

"

What once appeared to a dream for Leicester now appears to be an inevitability. While the squad still has some tough fixtures remaining against Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea, it would take an absolute collapse from the club at this point to lose their grip of the Premier League title. 

At this point, Tottenham and Arsenal can be perfect down the stretch and it probably won't matter. The title is now Leicester's to lose.

Manchester United 1, Everton 0

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - APRIL 03:  Anthony Martial of Manchester United (C) celebrates with Juan Mata (L) and Jesse Lingard (R) as he scores their first goal during the Barclays Premier League match between Manchester United and Everton at Old Trafford on A

Anthony Martial's 54th minute goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win over Everton and kept the side comfortably in fifth place and within striking distance of Manchester City for fourth place. 

With Wayne Rooney still injured, Louis Van Gaal went with an attacking group that featured Martial, Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard. That combination remained effective, though Everton was the sharper side earlier in the game and threatened David De Gea's goal several times.

The Toffees weren't able to break through, however, and United held on for the crucial home victory.

United's quest for a top four finish won't be easy. The club still has matchups against Tottenham, Leicester and West Ham looming, all tough contests. But at the very least, United is one very big step closer to European football next season after Sunday's win.
