Leicester won in the 89th minute, solidifying their top position.

Substitute striker Leonardo Ulloa scored the only goal, helping the King Power team defeat Norwich City 1-0, on February 27.

Playing in a deadlock for most of the match, it seemed that Leicester had stumbled in the final stages of the season. However, Claudio Ranieri's players still knew how to speak up at the right time to finish the match. Striker Ulloa, the last substitute Ranieri sent on, was in the right place to tap the ball into the net in the 89th minute.

If the quality of a champion is to be able to win when playing badly, Leicester have more reason to believe that the Premier League Cup is approaching the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes shook off the disappointment of last week's defeat to Arsenal, cementing their position at the top of the Premier League with 56 points, five points ahead of second-placed Tottenham.

Against Norwich, ranked 17th, Leicester had a very difficult match. Having to play differently from their usual style made the home team's strikers confused. Because Norwich chose Leicester's typical style of play: defending deep and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. In a position to dominate the game (controlling 59% of the time), the blue shirts struggled against the opponent's two-layer defensive wall.

Both Jamie Vardy and Riyah Mahrez were shut down by the "Canaries" defense. Mahrez could only take two long-range shots, which did not pose much of a problem for the opposing goalkeeper.

Norwich played a reasonable game, played with concentration and deserved a draw. The away team almost scored when Cameron Jerome headed the ball wide of the post. But Alex Neil and his team were defeated in a moment of carelessness, allowing Ulloa to score freely without a guard.
