Tottenham Host spurs now gives the Foxes a chance for a first ever Premier League title as they only need to win their next game against Manchester United to claim the prize.
The Baggies defender was on target twice at White Hart Lane, and his header in the second half meant Pochettino’s men lose ground on the Foxes with just three games left.
Craig Dawson made up for a calamitous own goal by earning West Bromwich Albion a 1-1 draw away to Tottenham, putting a serious dent in the hosts’ hopes of catching Leicester at the Premier League summit.
For the second week in succession, Spurs were playing more than 24 hours after Leicester, this time having seen their rivals thump Swansea City 4-0 on Sunday.
The draw means Leicester can now seal the most remarkable of Premier League crowns by winning at the home of 13-time champions Manchester United on Sunday while Spurs, not in action until they visit Chelsea on Monday, will have to hope for a favour from Louis van Gaal’s men.
