Leicester's title bid falters, Chelsea wins again

MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Leicester's unlikely Premier League title challenge faltered with a 2-2 home draw with West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, offering Tottenham the chance to go top in a new twist to the most unpredictable race for the championship in years.

Resurgent Chelsea moved within sight of the European places by beating Norwich 2-1, while Aston Villa's fans staged a mass walkout after the last-place team sunk nearer relegation with a 3-1 home loss to Everton.

Leicester, which only narrowly avoided relegation last season, moved three points clear in first place but wasted a slew of late chances to put a five-point gap to second-place Tottenham.

Spurs are away to West Ham on Wednesday, while the title hopes of fellow contenders Arsenal and Manchester City were also boosted by Leicester dropping points.
