Wes Morgan has been at the centre of Leicester’s Premier League title challenge this season, according to former Foxes defender Gerry Taggart. Leicester captain Morgan has been ever-present at the heart of Leicesters defence this term and notched his first goal of the campaign when he headed home the winner in the Super Sunday victory over Southampton.No player has blocked more shots than Morgan over the last two seasons in the Premier League and Taggart says the former Nottingham Forest man has been an integral part of Leicesters astonishing run of form this year. We signed Wes a few years ago and hes just improved year-on-year, Taggart told Sky Sports Now on Sky Sports News HQ.He leads by example as the captain and the added responsibility of being captain has helped him, there is no doubt about that.He is now at the centre of everything. He makes sure the dressing-room is run properly and all the players are doing what they should be doing. They have all gone from strength to strength and he has been at the centre of that. Morgan celebrates his winner against Southampton Morgan and centre-back partner Robert Huth have kept 19 Premier League clean sheets between them since Leicesters promotion back to the top flight two years ago.And Taggart credits former Chelsea man Huth with helping elevate the Jamaica internationals game to another level.The one thing you need in a back four is a leader. You need a talker, a communicator if you will, and Wes has been unbelievable at that, the former Northern Ireland international said. Leicester captain Wes Morgan gives his thoughts after the Southampton game But I think hes also had a lot of help from Robert Huth, who has helped him simplify his game. He was prone to making the odd silly mistake - especially in the season when they went up from the Championship - but hes cut them out his season and concentrated on being a good defender.I think that is partly down to Robert Huth.Former Premier League winner Tony Gale feels the duo are a perfect foil for one another.The two centre-backs have been so important because they have played most of the games for Leicester, Gale said.Its not about individuals when you are playing centre-back its about how you complement one another and they complement each other really well. Morgan and Huth are a no-nonsense defensive pairing says Tony Gale They are unfussy about their play. They want to head it, they want to kick it, they want to clear their lines and they dont want to over-complicate things by passing it through their midfield.Both of them are good out-and-out defenders.Leicesters win over Southampton was their fourth 1-0 victory in succession as they went seven points clear of closest rivals Tottenham.Sir Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports last week how important winning by a single goal can be for a team with title aspirations and ex-Foxes striker Tony Cottee insists grinding out victories is how you win the league.Youve got to do what Leicester are doing and thats get your 1-0 results. Its so much about results now rather than performances, he said. Sir Alex Ferguson says he cant see anything going wrong for Leicester and that they would deserve to win the title If you look at Chelsea last season, they played some really great stuff in the early part of the season but then they had to grind out the 1-0 wins.Every team that has ever won the league has done that - the great Liverpool teams and Manchester United teams of the 80s and 90s. Thats what Leicester are doing now. Get Sky Sports Join us and watch the race for the Premier League live on Sky Sports.

The Eastern Conference-leading Celtics finished their recent trek at 3-1 on Monday in Salt Lake City when Rajon Rondo made a key jumper with 24.1 seconds remaining, as Boston held off the Utah Jazz, 107-102, at EnergySolutions Arena.NEW YORK, N.Y. - The New York Yankees made it official Saturday, announcing the completion of a seven-year deal with free-agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and a one-year contract for returning starter Hiroki Kuroda. The busy Bronx Bombers have been undergoing a pricey roster overhaul after missing the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years. Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, agreed to a $153 million deal with New York on Tuesday. The contract includes a $21 million team option for the 2021 season, with a $5 million buyout. If the option is exercised, the deal would be worth $169 million over eight years. The Yankees will hold an introductory news conference for Ellsbury at Yankee Stadium on Friday. Ellsbury, who turned 30 in September, led the majors with 52 stolen bases despite being hobbled late in the season by a broken right foot. The lefty-hitting leadoff man batted .298 with nine homers and 53 RBIs, and the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium should boost his power numbers. He joins a crowded outfield that will include Carlos Beltran, who agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract, according to two people familiar with the deal, on Friday. Beltrans agreement came hours after All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano decided to leave for Seattle.dddddddddddd Outfielders Alfonso Soriano, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells are all expected to return. Curtis Granderson, though, left for a deal with the crosstown Mets. Kuroda also agreed Friday to a one-year deal, worth $16 million, to come back and fill one of three holes in the rotation behind CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova. Kuroda, who turns 39 in February, got off to a strong start last season before fading down the stretch. He finished 11-13 with a 3.31 ERA in 32 starts covering 201 1-3 innings. The deal includes bonuses of $250,000 for pitching 190 and 210 innings. New York introduced new catcher Brian McCann at a news conference Thursday. He signed an $85 million, five-year contract. When Beltrans deal is finalized, the Yankees will have committed about $172 million to 13 players for their 2014 luxury-tax payroll. That would leave them with approximately $5 million to spend if they intend to stay under the $189 million threshold, which includes all players on the 40-man roster and $11 million to $12 million for benefits. It appears unlikely New York would remain under the threshold unless Alex Rodriguez is suspended for most of the season, which would relieve the Yankees of much of his $25 million salary. ' ' '
