Comments:

League position: 1st Leicester City were now unbeaten in their last ten home league games (won six); their longest unbeaten home run in the top division since 1977. The Foxes were now on 57 points after 28 games; 38 points more than they had at the same stage in the previous season. Andy King scored in the first minute of added time in the first half. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Leicester City’s first goal against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday 1st March 2016 was in fact a Jonas Olsson own goal and has therefore not been credited to Danny Drinkwater. (Circular 18 – 11th March 2016)

Comments:

League position: 13th West Bromwich Albion failed in their attempt to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since November 2012.

Victor Anichebe replaced Salomon Rondon in the second minute of added time in the seconf half. Sandro replaced Stephane Sessegnon in the third minute of added time in the second half.
