Good afternoon - Ricky here.

0:00:040:00:06

It's Friday, and we've got a sporty Newsround for you.

0:00:060:00:09

Keep watching.

0:00:090:00:10

I find out what is behind Leicester City's rise to the top

0:00:100:00:13

of the Premier League.

0:00:130:00:15

And the boy who beat Everton players to the post gets his Goal

0:00:150:00:18

of the Month trophy.

0:00:180:00:24

If you think about the big names in the English Premier League,

0:00:300:00:34

the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United and Man City

0:00:360:00:38

might come to mind.

0:00:380:00:40

But this season, the name that is on everyone's lips

0:00:400:00:42

is Leicester City.

0:00:420:00:45

The club is currently top of the league table,

0:00:450:00:48

so Martin has been to the city to find out the secret

0:00:480:00:51

to their recent success.

0:00:510:00:54

COMMENTATOR: What a goal!

0:00:540:00:55

Sensational volley from Vardy!

0:00:550:00:57

Unbelievable!

0:00:570:00:58

Mahrez, brilliant turn.

0:00:580:00:59

Mahrez shoots!

0:00:590:01:01

Ah, goal!

0:01:010:01:02

Their supporters are dancing in the stands.

0:01:020:01:04

Dream season for Leicester City.

0:01:040:01:05

Position at the top of the table confirmed.

0:01:050:01:07

This is incredible.

0:01:070:01:12

doing really well.

0:01:120:01:17

You would think that they would get relegated straightaway.

0:01:170:01:19

They are always passing the ball, they win

0:01:190:01:21

matches, they are confident, they work as a team.

0:01:210:01:23

Leicester are playing that well that we are talking about it a lot

0:01:230:01:26

in the playground.

0:01:260:01:28

I play football in my school because of the way Leicester play.

0:01:280:01:33

They have inspired me to play football more

0:01:330:01:35

and more.

0:01:350:01:37

This time last year, Leicester City Football Club

0:01:370:01:39

were sitting bottom of the Premier League,

0:01:390:01:42

and they looked pretty certain to be relegated at the end

0:01:420:01:45

of the season.

0:01:450:01:48

But fast forward a year, and with a string of big wins

0:01:480:01:51

under their belt, they are now sitting right at the top

0:01:510:01:54

of the table.

0:01:540:01:55

So, what is the secret behind this amazing turnaround?

0:01:550:01:59

Leicester City have done so well because they

0:01:590:02:01

have certainly got the belief, they have got the confidence,

0:02:010:02:03

they have had a wonderful string of results.

0:02:030:02:05

Their defence has been brilliant, they are scoring goals as well,

0:02:050:02:08

and they have been the surprise of the

0:02:080:02:10

season.

0:02:100:02:11

And every neutral would love to see them win the Premier League

0:02:110:02:14

this season.

0:02:140:02:16

But with their next match against Arsenal this Sunday,

0:02:160:02:18

can the Foxes keep up their winning streak and make it all the way

0:02:180:02:22

to Premier League glory?

0:02:220:02:24

I think they can win the league.

0:02:240:02:26

I think they can go into this Arsenal game and play

0:02:260:02:29

exactly the same way they did against Manchester City -

0:02:290:02:31

with confidence, knowing they are top of the table,

0:02:310:02:34

knowing Arsenal have to beat them.

0:02:340:02:40

And who is to say Leicester aren't going to to win again

0:02:400:02:43

and extend that lead at the top?!

0:02:430:02:44

I think Leicester are going to win the league because they have got

0:02:440:02:47

Jamie Vardy.

0:02:470:02:49

I think Leicester is going to win the league.

0:02:490:02:51

I think Leicester is going to win the Premier League

0:02:510:02:53

because they are playing so well and I want them to be the best

0:02:530:02:57

team in Europe.

0:02:570:02:57

The message to Leicester City is - always work hard and you will

0:02:570:03:00

achieve what you want.

0:03:000:03:02

Go, Leicester!

0:03:020:03:05

Today, the second Youth Winter Olympics gets started

0:03:050:03:07

in Lillehammer in Norway.

0:03:070:03:09

Competitors from all over the world are gathering

0:03:090:03:11

for the opening ceremony tonight.

0:03:110:03:13

Team GB's flag bearer is 17-year-old George Johnston, who is

0:03:130:03:16

competing in the bobsleigh.

0:03:160:03:18

Newsround will be bringing you all the action from Norway

0:03:180:03:20

on TV and online.

0:03:200:03:24

Earlier in the week, we told you about nine-year-old

0:03:240:03:26

George, who won the Goal of the Month

0:03:260:03:28

competition at Everton, beating the club's big stars

0:03:280:03:31

like Ross Barkley and Aaron Lennon.

0:03:310:03:33

Well, George has picked up his trophy from Everton

0:03:330:03:36

manager Roberto Martinez, and he got the chance to meet some

0:03:360:03:39

of the Everton team, too.

0:03:390:03:44

A secret tunnel that has been hidden for hundreds of years has been found

0:03:440:03:47

under a shop in mid-Wales.

0:03:470:03:48

The shop keeper found it after he was clearing his basement

0:03:480:03:51

from the recent floods.

0:03:510:03:54

He followed it and it led all the way to the beach.

0:03:540:03:59

It is believed it was built by smugglers who used to bring goods

0:03:590:04:02

to Wales from illegal ships out at sea.

0:04:020:04:06

This tunnel has been cut into the rock face here.

0:04:060:04:08

It is very narrow, but it runs under the shop and then

0:04:080:04:12

starts to run under the main road in Newquay.

0:04:120:04:14

If we just have a look around the corner here,

0:04:140:04:16

you can see where it is actually blocked off.

0:04:160:04:18

And that would have led to the entrance to the beach.

0:04:180:04:23

Radio 1's Greg James is due to finish his epic Sport Relief

0:04:230:04:26

challenge in the next few minutes.

0:04:260:04:31

challenge in the last few minutes.

0:04:310:04:33

The gruelling five day Greg-athlon has seen the presenter running,

0:04:330:04:36

swimming and cycling more than 50 miles a day.

0:04:360:04:42

He finished up in Norwich in the east of England

0:04:420:04:44

this afternoon, after an open water

0:04:440:04:45

swim this morning. Well done, Greg!

0:04:450:04:47

That's all from me for now.

0:04:470:04:49
