Leicester took a huge step towards the Premier League title against Sunderland on Super Sunday. From front to back, the 2-0 victory bore all the hallmarks of their extraordinary season. Any lingering doubts about whether Leicester could go the distance were blown away at the Stadium of Light. An emotional Claudio Ranieri left the pitch to chants of were going to win the league from the buoyant travelling fans, and it is now difficult to imagine any other outcome.How fitting that such a significant victory should arrive in this style. Leicester showed the patience and organisation that has typified their recent run of narrow victories for just over an hour in the north east, and when the hosts began pushing forward for a winning goal, the Foxes simply picked them off on the break. Jamie Vardys goals were classic Leicester. His opener - which made him the clubs first player since Gary Lineker to score 20 goals in a top flight season - came after Danny Drinkwater received a Robert Huth header deep in his own half with his back to goal. Jamie Vardy finishes Leicesters opening goal against Sunderland It looked like an innocuous position, but the midfielder turned Lee Cattermole with two quick touches and immediately sighted Vardy, who had taken up his usual position in the outside-left channel. Suddenly, Sunderland were vulnerable. Drinkwaters pass was perfect, and Younes Kaboul couldnt get close as Vardy angled his run inside and finished clinically with his right foot.Simple but devastatingly effective counter-attacking. It was Leicester all over, and Vardys second left Sunderland with a feeling of deja-vu. This time it was substitute Demarai Gray who made it, plucking Daniel Amarteys clearance out of the sky and sliding the ball forward, where Vardy had only one thing on his mind. Claudio Ranieri speaks to Sky Sports after Leicesters latest victory The 29-year-old outmuscled and outpaced Patrick van Aanholt to break free on goal, and he kept a cool head to round Vito Mannone and finish into Sunderlands empty net. You leave space in behind and they will kill you for it, said Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports studio. These were the kind of goals Leicester have been scoring all season.Leicester are brilliant at what they do, added Carragher. Early on in the game Sunderland couldnt get out of their own half because they defended so deep to counteract Vardys pace, but as soon as you step up that pitch youre just asking for trouble.Vardy wasnt the only Leicester player to fulfil his duties to perfection. In midfield, they were boosted by another exceptional performance from NGolo Kante. The Frenchman was the smallest player on the pitch at just over 5ft 6ins, but he dominated the centre of the park in towering style. NGolo Kante was in fine form for Leicester against Sunderland Just days after Ranieri commented that the midfielder plays like he has a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts, Kante delivered a typically industrious display, covering more ground (11.86km) and making more high-intensity sprints (71) than anyone else on the pitch.Kante was everywhere, popping up on the flanks, contributing in attack and defence and driving Leicester on as he has done all year. The 25-year-old ranked first for tackles (seven) and interceptions (four) at the Stadium of Light, and he also posted the second-highest passing accuracy of players to have started the game with 85.7 per cent. Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy celebrate after the final whistle He provided a perfect shield for a back five whose collective understanding is strengthening with every passing week. Leicesters defensive organisation has become more and more prominent in the second half of the campaign, and with the exception of Jack Rodwells gilt-edged chance in the closing stages, Sunderland were largely nullified.Kasper Schmeichel saved their only shot on target - a deflected effort from Fabio Borini in the first half - and Leicester held firm to keep their 13th clean sheet in the 23 games in which they have started with a back four of Danny Simpson, Huth, Wes Morgan and Christian Fuchs. Leicesters togetherness was epitomised by Marc Albrightons hard-working display on the left-hand side, and there were similarly tireless shifts from Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez.To a man, Leicester simply did exactly what was required. They are the most cohesive and effective unit in the Premier League, and with just five games of the season remaining, its starting to feel like a question of when and not if they finish the job. It is there on the table, said Ranieri, and now we have to take it. Also See: Vardy edges Leicester closer Ranieri: Everything in our hands Equanimeous St. Brown Stitched Jersey .

The winter window may have shut in the Premier League and across the rest of Europe on earlier this month, but that has not stopped clubs in the CSL from continuing to splash the cash.So how much have teams in China spent so far in the transfer window and who still has room left on their rosters to accommodate foreign signings? We answer those questions and more… Names like Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, yes, it will probably happen pretty soon Sven-Goran Eriksson When does the transfer window close in China? Friday February 26, ahead of the start of the new CSL season on March 4.Who has made the move to the CSL? Ramires moved from Chelsea to Jiangsu Suning for £21m A number of high-profile players have already decided to make the switch to China, with the biggest outlay so far being the £38m that Jiangsu Suning spent to sign Shakhtar Donetsk forward Alex Teixeira on February 5.The Brazilians big-money move to the Far East broke the CSL transfer record for the third time in the space of just 10 days after Jackson Martinez and Ramires had joined Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning for £31.5m and £21m respectively.Other transfers to have caught the eye this window include former Arsenal forward Gervinhos £13.5m move from Roma to Hebei China Fortune and Fredy Guarins £9.75m switch from Inter Milan to Shanghai Shenhua.Last summer, former Chelsea frontman Demba Ba signed for Shanghai Shenhua for £9.75m, Brazil midfielder Paulinho left Tottenham Hotspur for Guangzhou Evergrande in a £10.5m deal and ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan moved to Shanghai SIPG for £6.75m.West Ham United forward Nikica Jelavic continued the recent trend of players moving from the continent to footballs fastest-growing economy after joining Chinese second division side Beijing Renhe on Tuesday - and PSG forward Ezequiel Lavezzi has now signed for Hebei China Fortune.How much have CSL clubs spent in the transfer window? Alex Teixeiras £38m move to Jiangsu Suning is a record for the CSL Teixeiras recent big-money move to Jiangsu Suning took total spending among teams in China to £194.2m - and Lavezzis switch - for a fee that has not been disclosed - means the spending has broken the £200m barrier.This figure surpasses the £172.65m that Premier League sides spent during the January transfer window, with Stokes £18.3m capture of midfielder Giannelli Imbula from Porto the biggest outlay of last month.With the windoow open for several days yet, Chinese clubs could still target more big names from Europe, subject to rules governing the number of foreign-based players a team can have.ddddddddddddHow many foreign players are CSL sides allowed? CSL clubs are allowed to field four foreign players at any one time The league states that each team can have a total of just five foreign players, which must include one from the Asian Football Confederation.However, each club is only allowed to field a maximum of four overseas stars at any one time.Which CSL sides can still sign foreign players?The vast majority of the 16 clubs in the CSL have already used up their quota of foreign-based players ahead of the new campaign.But the likes of Guangzhou R&F and Shijiazhuang Ever Bright still have room on their rosters for more overseas recruits.Who else could become a target? Chelsea midfielder Oscar was a reported target for Jiangsu Suning Chelsea have already turned down a £75m offer from Jiangsu Suning for their Brazil midfielder Oscar, according to reports in the Daily Telegraph, while Sky sources understand a Chinese club were willing to pay £38m for Dimitri Payet before the West Ham midfielder signed a new contract.Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote, Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata and Chelsea striker Loic Remy have also been reported targets for other teams in China, while Germanys Bild newspaper has reported that former Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner is weighing up a Far East move.In fact, it would be no surprise were CSL clubs to start making moves for even bigger Premier League stars, such as Chelsea captain John Terry and his United counterpart Wayne Rooney. Could Cristiano Ronaldo be tempted by a move to China one day? Every year the number of clubs capable of making big-money additions seems to increase as we are seeing more and more clubs taken over by big enterprises, Chris Atkins, a Chinese football expert based in Guangzhou, told Sky Sports.And with the TV rights for the next five years of the CSL costing £830m, more than 30 times the previous sum, Shanghai SIPG boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has even suggested that players of the calibre of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo could one day be lured to the Far East.Now, in 2016, China seems to be taking over.
