Chelsea comeback against Spurs funniest moment of last season - Leicester ace Mahrez

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has described Chelsea's comeback against Tottenham Hotspur as the funniest moment from last season.

Spurs, who were placed second at the time, travelled to Stamford Bridge in early May needing a win to sustain their league challenge against the table-topping Foxes.

The North London club started the game brightly and took a 2-0 lead, however, the Blues came back strongly to level the scoreline and ensure the Foxes' a sensational title triumph.

"The funniest moment [of last season]? I think it was when Tottenham were 2-0 ahead of Chelsea," Mahrez told FourFourTwo magazine.

"All the team were at Vardy's house thinking 'we're probably not going to be champions tonight'.

"I was like, 'What's the point of coming?!' and then 2-1, 2-2... it was funny."
