Leicester City fans: 'We're nearly there'

Leicester City fans face a nail-biting wait to see if the side pulls off one of the greatest comebacks in English football history and lifts the Premier League trophy.

A draw against Manchester United on Sunday meant the Foxes will be winners if Tottenham Hotspur fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening.

Hundreds of fans packed into pubs and bars across the city to watch the game at Old Trafford, with Leicester fans knowing that a win would have seen them cap off an historic season.

Anthony Martial opened the scoring for Manchester United in the eighth minute before Wes Morgan got an equaliser for Leicester.

Fans leaving the Local Hero pub on Aylestone Road, Leicester, said they were pleased with the draw as it put the pressure on their title rivals.

Harry Barnett, 18, of Leicester, said: "The pressure was off before the match, and I think this has been a good result."

Leicester City spent last season languishing at the bottom of the table and were expected by some to be relegated this year.

Dennis Mistry, 46, paid tribute to the manager Claudio Ranieri for guiding the Foxes to within grasping distance of a league title.

He said: "Leicester played all the way, 100%. It's just been fantastic this season, fantastic players, fantastic manager and fantastic supporters."
