Claudio Ranieri: 'Leicester City have won nothing yet'

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri warns his side that they have achieved nothing yet despite moving to within nine points of the Premier League title.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has warned his side that they have won nothing yet despite moving 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Jamie Vardy ended a six-match goal drought by scoring both in his side's 2-0 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this afternoon, taking the Foxes to within three wins of the title.

Ranieri urged the fans to continue dreaming of being crowned champions of England for the first time, but insists that his side need to remain focused on getting over the line.

"We knew it would be tough, it is normal because Sunderland are fighting to be safe, but I am very happy for the three points. Our performance was very solid, of course they had the chance to draw but we had three or four chances to finish it early," Ranieri told BBC Sport.

"It is important for Jamie Vardy to score because he made some good assists in the last game but he is our goalscorer and he needed to score again and I am very happy with him. The fans must continue to dream but we must continue to be concentrated and focused. Now we have two tough matches at home, the Champions League is on the table and we have to keep it. We don't achieve nothing yet.

"We have to stay calm, be focused, strong, solid and keep going. You make this job for the emotion you feel inside but it is difficult for me to tell what kind of emotion. Today we made some mistakes, we still have to look at what is not right."

Leicester are currently in their best form for 52 years having strung together five consecutive top-flight wins for the first time since 1963-64.
