Claudio Ranieri praised Leicester City for their fantastic effort as they moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with victory over Southampton. The Foxes emphasised their title credentials with a hard-fought 1-0 win courtesy of captain Wes Morgans first goal of the season.Leicester had to overcome a dogged display from Southampton but secured the victory that moved the club to within four wins of a maiden top-flight crown. Wes Morgan celebrates giving Leicester the lead And Ranieri believes his players further answered any doubters by capitalising on Saturdays draw between nearest rivals Tottenham and Liverpool.It was a good answer to the Premier League because now everybody is waiting for us after the Liverpool v Tottenham draw, Ranieri said. We gave a very good answer.I am very calm. We believe in what we are doing, we believe its a magical season and believe next season wont be the same, but then we try.We try to do our best. Other teams can win 3-0, 4-0, we have to fight to win 1-0. We must be focused in our way. Graeme Souness and Peter Schmeichel analyse Danny Simpson blocking Sadio Manes goal-bound shot with his arm The result was Leicesters fourth straight 1-0 win but Ranieri told Sky Sports he was satisfied with another slender victory.It was a fantastic effort because Southampton came here with a lot of confidence after their win against Liverpool, Ranieri said.They closed all the space behind them, with five at the back, three midfielders and with (Graziano) Pelle as the anchor man up front with (Sadio) Mane around him.We started well and wanted to score immediately but it was difficult after they kept possession. Mane had a fantastic chance but (Danny) Simpson made a fantastic save. We scored a goal and had another one or two chances to close the match but 1-0 was OK, we got a clean sheet and three points so step by step it was good. Southampton manager Ronald Koeman felt his side should have had two penalties against Leicester Ronald Koeman was aggrieved his side were denied a penalty on two occasions at the King Power Stadium, the first of which saw Simpson deny Manes goal-bound effort with his arm shortly before Morgans 38th-minute winner.Asked whether he thought Simpson was lucky to escape punishment, Ranieri added: The ball was very close to Simpson while he was running.If it doesnt touch his arm then it would have touched his flank. It is not as though his arm was far from the body, it was very close.Southampton were unable to find a way through the Leicester defence as the Foxes held on for a win that left them on the brink of a most unlikely title success - but Ranieri sounded a final note of caution.. Leicester captain Wes Morgan gives his thoughts after scoring the only goal of the game against Southampton I enjoy it a lot when we keep clean sheets, I am very happy, he said. I enjoy every minute because we are dreaming.It is important for us to make a good performance because if we do, and win the match, we will be happier. It is important for us to take things step by step and focus on the next match.It is important for us to remain calm, to maintain our feet on the ground, train well and then concentrate during the match.

The 23-year-old split last season between Hamilton and Montreal, recording 16 goals and 15 assists in 55 regular season games with the Bulldogs.The most overused word in sports is star. It should be reserved only for the deserving few, those who constantly brighten our horizons with their exploits, who dont wax, wane and flame out in a season or two and, most importantly, who dont cheat, dope, act like idiots and otherwise prove that sports are too quick to build pedestals for athletes.Lindsey Vonn is a bona fide star.In simple numerical terms, its hard to gauge the relative value of the Americans new record in Alpine skiing. Vonns 63rd win in World Cup ski racing, in Italy on Monday, moved her ahead of Annemarie Moser-Proell, the womens previous record-holder from Austria with 62 World Cup victories from 1970-1980.But with fewer races back then, Moser-Proell had fewer opportunities than Vonn to make her mark and she won more frequently and from a younger age than Vonn.The technology of skiing has changed, too. Perhaps not as drastically as in tennis, where Rod Lavers wooden rackets frustrate comparisons with Roger Federer. In winning gold at the 1980 Olympics, Moser-Proell sped downhill as fast as Vonn did 30 years later for her gold in Vancouver in 2010.Still, how would Vonn and Moser-Proell have fared against each other with the same boots and skis? The differing eras make that impossible to answer with certainty.Fairer to both, then, not to play one off against the other. Its how and why Vonn has reached this milestone, not the record alone or eclipsing Moser-Proell, which make her special.TALENTS NOT ENOUGH: Vonns brain is missing the alarm bells that tell the rest of us to slow down or she has learned to ignore them. Speed simply doesnt scare her. Thats why I have so many speeding tickets in my car, she has said. For her, an icy corner on a precipitous mountain slope is an opportunity to go quicker than others who apply the brakes. Not crashing occasionally, she figures, must mean that she isnt pushing hard enough. Im just not afraid.But she also was smart in realizing long ago, early in her career, that natural hard-wiring for speed wouldnt alone be sufficient. She became the dominant woman skier not simply by being quick but by training and working hard enough to exploit that talent.NOT A QUITTER: There were plenty of points along the way when Vonn could have said, enough. At 16, after failing to finish most of her races. At 21, when a back-crunching, cart-wheeling crash in training at the Turin Olympics made her realize, foor the first time, that at any second I could be done, not just in skiing, but in life.dddddddddddd In 2013, when she tore two right-knee ligaments, the ACL and MCL, that keep our thighbones attached to our shinbones. Or again in November that year, when she re-tore one of those ligaments that had been rebuilt with a graft from her hamstring, eventually forcing her out of the 2014 Sochi Olympics and back into surgery.Pain is as much a part of competitive skiing as snow. What is astounding about Vonn isnt her high tolerance for it but that shes winning again so soon after sweating her way back to health — not once but twice — from surgeries that emaciated her leg muscles. Only in September did her surgeon clear her to ski again. World Cup wins 60, 61, 62 and 63 have come in eight races since December. She has scars on her knee but her confidence and fearlessness seem remarkably intact.Im not dead; Im still here, Vonn says in a forthcoming TV documentary about her recovery. One day, that would make a fitting headstone.OFF-PISTE PERSONA: Given that they have people who manage their public personas, who tweet and post for them, and otherwise make them sound and look good, its silly to assume that the athlete on your cereal box is a model citizen in private, too. Michael Phelps drunken driving, the revelation in 2009 of Tiger Woods serial adultery or Lance Armstrongs doping — to name just those three — showed how success in sports is sometimes only half the story.Vonn does the public side extremely well. All sports could do with more women like her, to balance out and end the undeserved dominance of men. She is articulate about skiing, making the sport easier to understand and so more attractive. She seems to understand and deal graciously with media curiosity about her personal relationship with Woods, helping rehabilitate his image somewhat. Hes a catch. Hes a good boyfriend, Vonn said on the Today show after Woods sprang the surprise of turning up for her 63rd victory.For the most part, shes been remarkably scandal-free for her career, six-time Olympic medallist Bode Miller said this month of Vonn. She does the right stuff all the time. Shes a very clean-cut American superstar and thats an amazing title.A true star.___John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.
