PIC: Leicester City passed out by Spurs at the top…of the nightclub queue

Leicester have captured the imagination of football fans everywhere, so we’re going to assume these bouncers are not football fans.

Several members of Claudio Ranieri’s shock table-toppers headed out for the night in London on Saturday, only for a couple of doormen to manage what no Premier League club have – stop them in their tracks.

Out to celebrate Danny Drinkwater’s 26th birthday, the midfielder, Andy King, Matty James and Ben Hamer were refused entry to Drama nightclub in Mayfair.

To rub salt in the wound the quartet had to stand aside as Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris, Nacer Chadli and Eric Dier breezed into the club.

Leicester opened up a five-point lead over their title rivals thanks to a 1-0 win at Watford, which came just hours after Lloris and Co were held to a 2-2 draw in the North London derby by Arsenal.

It looks like Leicester might have to go an win the league before they gain the respect of some.

Leicester next play next Monday night at home to struggling Newcastle.
