"Leicester City" victory against "Manchester City" at the "Etihad" stadium means that with just 13 games left until the end of the season, the "foxes" are leading the "Premier" league and are ahead of the second position by five points.
Although Claudio Ranieri's players have not been considered serious contenders for the championship titles so far, today's three points against Manuel Pellegrini's army turned everything upside down.
However, despite the comfortable position in the league table, Leicester club still faces some serious challenges.
Next week, the "foxes" will travel to London to face "Arsenal", who were defeated 5-2 at home in September.
Towards the end of the season, "Leicester" will also have to visit the "Old Trafford" and "Stamford Bridge" stadiums, and these matches could be crucial.
The leaders may also face tough games at home - at the "King Power" arena they will have to host the still undefeated "Southampton", London's "West Ham" and Liverpool's "Everton". Also, do not discount the teams of "Newcastle United", "Sunderland" and "Norwich City", who will fight hard for survival.
