LONDON (AP) – Robert Huth reignited Leicester’s astonishing Premier League title charge with a rare goal securing a 1-0 victory over challenger Tottenham on Wednesday.

With Arsenal held 3-3 at Liverpool, Leicester moved level on points with the London leader by ending a three-game winless run.

And a Leicester team that was battling relegation last season is now eight points clear of fifth place and primed for a first-ever qualification for the Champions League.

Fourth-place Tottenham had only lost two games – like Leicester – before their top-four faceoff at White Hart Lane.

But Huth powered in a header in the 83rd minute to end Leicester’s six-hour, 14-minute search for a league goal.
