Spurs cut for title after leaders are held to draw

LEICESTER escaped with a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham with an injury-time penalty from Leonardo Ulloa but Tottenham were cut for the Premier League title.

Spurs can reduce the gap to Leicester to five points if they beat Stoke at the Britannia on Monday and their  title odds have been cut from 6-1 to 4-1.

Bet365 have priced up the Foxes' winning margin and make four to six points the narrow 9-4 favourite, with one to three points at 5-2.

Leicester - eased from 1-5 to 3-10 for the title - led early on through Jamie Vardy but it was a bitter-sweet day for the England forward, who was sent off early in the second half after picking up a second yellow card for simulation.

Vardy is suspended for Sunday's match at home to Swansea but his goal put him into joint-first place in the top scorers list with Harry Kane of Spurs and one ahead of Man City's Sergio Aguero.

It looks a three-way battle to top the scoring charts with Kane the evens favourite with bet365 and Aguero and Vardy at 7-4 and 11-4.

Arsenal eased to 80-1 to finish top after Yannick Bolasie's superb second-half strike earned Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw at the Emirates.

The Gunners remain fourth, 13 points adrift of the summit and behind Manchester City on goal difference.

Liverpool kept their slim hopes of a top-four finish alive by winning 2-1 at Bournemouth. They are 25-1 for a top-four finish.

Rangers are 2-5 favourites to win the William Hill Scottish Cup after yesterday's 5-4 penalty shootout success over Celtic at Hampden Park.

Celtic had twice come from behind in the match which finished 2-2 after extra-time.

The Gers will lock horns with second-tier rivals Hibernian, who are
7-4 to get their hands on the trophy. Hills cut Rangers from 3-1 to 9-4 to win the title next year and eased Celtic to 1-3 from 2-9.
