Former Leicester City winger Matt Piper discussed the Foxes' 2-1 Championship victory over West Bromwich Albion on the When You're Smiling podcast:

"It's a huge win. It seemed nobody wanted to take that step to win this title. Leeds, Ipswich and Leicester have all stumbled when it's come towards the business end of the season.

"This was a massive potential banana skin for Leicester - a West Brom side that have been really good on the road this season and are fighting to get into the top six. They presented a real stern test but there were some big characters in the side.

"Conor Coady was one of them but nobody more than Jamie Vardy. He misses a penalty, stays on the pitch, scores us the winner and that's why we call him the goat.

"The crowd knew how big this game was, the players did too.

"Credit to West Brom - they came aggressive and posed a threat, and you have to say our goal did lead a very charmed life. Hamza Choudhury was a one-man wrecking ball keeping it out. He cleared so many off the line."
