We played well (for most of it) but they are also just not that good
I'm not saying they don't deserve to be top because they've got the results but they are having something of a freak season where everything goes in for them in front of goal and other teams you would expect to be above them are underperforming and/or getting distracted by the champions league.
If you look at Leicester's stats they have benefitted from the fact that (even though they have been top or up at the top for most of the season) opponants perhaps don;t take them as seriously as they do when they are up against the likes of Arsenal or Man City which gives them scope to play their counter attacking style of football. They generally don;t have that much of the ball or create that many chances, they've just been highly efficient with what they have created. We didn;t let them play in their usual manner and for most of the game they struggled to know what to do. Unfortunately, as they are having a season like we did in the championship under Lambert they got the kind of late goal that we often got to win games when we hadn;t played particularly well. Things like that just happen when you have confidence and belief and keep going forward. We are the opposite at the moment.
