Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalke

Their campaign began with a flurry of goals but it’s nerves of steel - and a run of 1-0 victories - propelling Leicester to the title now. How many times have I said to you about 1-0? What does it mean? It means championship form. I dont mind the 1-0s, I really dont because it tells you we are determined, were going to defend, do the right things and play as a team. - Sir Alex Ferguson, 2012These words from the legendary Manchester United manager came following a 1-0 win over Fulham on Monday Night Football in March 2012. Ferguson, of course, knows a thing or two about title races and has many fond memories of this particular scoreline. Its 20 years since the famous 1995/96 season in which Manchester United overhauled Kevin Keegans Newcastle with the help of eight 1-0 victories. Seven of them came from January onwards, with Eric Cantona scoring the only goal of the game in five of those matches.Ferguson has not forgotten it, as became clear in an interview with Sky Sports last month. We won eight games 1-0 and won the league, said the Scot. These are championship-winning games without question. And it also helps explain why Ferguson is backing Leicester to lift the title too. Leicester have been fearless in defending 1-0 leads in recent weeks The Foxes have now won seven games by one goal to nil so far this season. Remarkably, theyve won each of their last four matches by this scoreline and five of their last six. Its making for some nervy finales for Claudio Ranieris team but their levels of concentration have been impeccable.In Fergusons final season as a manager, Manchester United won 16 matches by the odd goal and there are echoes of that propensity to edge matches evident in Leicesters campaign. No team has won more than 14 games in a season this way since - but the Foxes have already done it 14 times in 2015/16. One-goal Premier League wins in 2015/16 Team Wins by one-goal margin Leicester 14 West Brom 10 Man Utd 9 Stoke 9 The consistency has been there all season, added Ferguson. If they retain that consistency I cant see anything going wrong for them. Perhaps theres only one bad omen. Though Ferguson revelled in that 1-0 win over Fulham, his side were pipped to the title by Manchester City and Sergio Aguero.Leicester will want to avoid such an outcome, but the process is nevertheless a familiar one for Ferguson and others. Winning 1-0 is not a result to worry about. Indeed, 1-0 to the champions could become a familiar refrain from Leicesters supporters in the coming weeks and months.
