The Algerian midfielder scored with a beautiful curling finish to take advantage of Tottenham’s draw with Arsenal and put Claudio Ranieri’s men five points clear at the top.
A sensational strike by Riyad Mahrez saw Leicester City restore their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory against Watford.
After a largely even first half, the Algerian midfielder produced some magic just before the hour as he curled a beautiful finish into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
After Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal earlier in the day, it puts Claudio Ranieri’s side in a commanding position with only nine more games left in the season.
The striker could only nod straight at Schmeichel, though, as Leicester held firm on what could prove to be a pivotal day in their quest for a momentous title win.
