On Saturday Leicester had restored a five point gap at the top of the table, Leonardo Ulloa converting in the 89th minute to remind the title contenders that the defeat at the Emirates had not ended the Foxes title bid.
At 2:45pm today Claudio Ranieri could be forgiven for dreaming that the title was on its way to the King Power Stadium. Swansea were leading at White Hart Lane, United were two up at Old Trafford.
But where Nacer Chadli and Danny Rose struck to bring three points to Spurs, Arsenal meekly subsided. Against a youthful United side with a makeshift defence the Gunners were exposed on the counter and found lacking in front of goal.
