The Algeria international’s 16th strike of the Premier League season was enough for Claudio Ranieri’s men to take another big stride towards an historic triumph.
Leicester City took another big stride towards the Premier League title as they beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Riyad Mahrez scored the only goal of the game – his 16th of the season – in the 34th minute, picking up on a low cross from Jamie Vardy and firing home left-footed.
Though Alan Pardew’s men had their fair share of pressure they were unable to prevent the extension of their winless run in the top flight to 13 games, while the Foxes are now eight points clear the top ahead of Tottenham’s game against Bournemouth on Sunday.
