Leicester are 5-6, from 6-4, to finish in the Premier League's top four this season after second-half goals from Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy sealed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Soyuncu's 57th-minute header broke the deadlock in a tight encounter and Vardy sealed the deal with his tenth goal of the season, taking him to the top of the scoring charts.

Leicester's victory – their fifth in the last six league games – lifted them above Chelsea into third place on goal difference and gave them a six-point cushion to fifth-placed Arsenal.

The Foxes' 23-point tally is one higher than at the same stage of the 2015-16 campaign when they went on to win the title and Brendan Rodgers' side are 66-1 to finish top of the pile this season.

Vardy, who has netted four goals in his last two games, is 6-1 from 13-2 with Paddy Power to finish the campaign as the Premier League's top scorer.

Struggling sides Everton and Tottenham had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park after a poor game marred by a horrific injury to Toffees midfielder Andre Gomes.

Dele Alli gave Spurs the lead in the second half before Heung-Min Son was sent off for a late challenge on Gomes.

Tottenham traded at 1-6 in-play but Everton levelled things up with a header from substitute Cenk Tosun in the seventh minute of injury time at Goodison.

Everton's Marco Silva is 5-2 to be the next manager to leave his job while Tottenham are 21-10 with Paddy Power to make the top four.
