| Arsene Wenger surprised by Cladio Ranieri's impact at Leicester |
ARSENE WENGER has heaped praise on Claudio Ranieri's 'special' Leicester team.
The Foxes moved top of the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday as both Arsenal and Manchester City lost to West Brom and Liverpool, respectively.
And Gunners boss Wenger admits he's surprised to see Leicester doing so well considering they were bottom of the table this time last year.
"It is a surprise," Wenger said. "Leicester fought not to go down last season but they won their last seven games.
"When we played against them last season at Emirates we came to the conclusion there is something special in this team already, so overall they surprised everybody and congratulations to them.

| Jamie Vardy scored his 13th goal of the season against Newcastle |
On the rise of Jamie Vardy, who scored his 10th consecutive goal at St James' Park, the Frenchman added: "It's absolutely fantastic.
"It is not a miracle, because that is a consequence of his quality. The miracle is that he played at Fleetwood and that he didn't play in the Premier League before."
