The incredible dream is about to be realised.
Leicester City’s fairytale is nearly complete, after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United means that anything other than a Tottenham victory away to Chelsea on Monday night will see Claudio Ranieri’s men officially crowned champions.
In a pulsating match, the visitors didn’t start the game too well, when Anthony Martial gave United an early lead, only for Leicester captain Wes Morgan to equalise for the champions-elect.
There were numerous chances for both sides thereafter, with Danny Drinkwater given his marching orders for his second bookable offence towards the end, but the result means that Leicester are very nearly there.
Here’s the best reaction to an amazing story.
It's supposed to be enjoyable isn't it? Excruciating watch, but a massive point!

So, barring Spurs ending a 26-year hoodoo at Chelsea, Leicester City will be champions tomorrow. Remarkable.

Man United 1, Leicester City 1. Tottenham has to win at Chelsea tomorrow to prevent Leicester from clinching a historic league title.

if Tottenham don't beat Chelsea tomorrow then Leicester will be #BPL champs. Spurs haven't won at Chelsea in the league since 1990…

Really need to get ready for work, but this Manchester United – Leicester City game is too good to stop watching.

Can't help thinking Hollywood film directors must be watching the fate of #LeicesterCity closely
