Claudio Ranieri has been named the Premier League's Manager of the Month for April after his Leicester City side edged closer to the title.

Last month, the Foxes recorded three wins and a draw before being officially named champions on May 2 when Chelsea drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur.

Leicester secured wins over Southampton and Sunderland in April, but they were held to a 2-2 draw by West Ham United, and lost Jamie Vardy to a red card.

Ranieri's side responded in the following game, though, as they earned a 4-0 triumph over Swansea City at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester lifted the title last Saturday after their 3-1 victory over Everton.
