It's way too early to say it's over (Wijnaldum said as much earlier), but a win like this is the kind of win Title Winning Teams get. A 1 goal game that was stolen late. I feel like every team who has won the EPL knew how to do this somehow, someway. And Leicester could very well be a top 4 outfit themselves.
