Riyad Mahrez admits the funniest moment in Leicester City’s title-winning season came when Tottenham threw the Premier League away in their draw with Chelsea.

The Foxes completed the biggest upset in Premier League history after Spurs ended their title hopes by squandering a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge in May.

The Leicester City players watched the match unfold at Jamie Vardy’s house, and Mahrez, who played an influential role in the club’s campaign, couldn’t hide his delight at watching Spurs stumble.

‘Funniest moment… I think when Tottenham were 2-0 ahead of Chelsea,’ the Algerian told FourFourTwo.

‘At half time it was like, all the team came to Vardy’s house and probably we are not going to be champions tonight. So I was like, what’s the point of coming today?



‘Then 2-1, 2-2, it was funny.’
