Mahrez hat-trick sends Leicester top

Riyad Mahrez's hat-trick propelled Leicester to the top of the Premier League as they beat Swansea to increase the pressure on manager Garry Monk.

Mahrez headed the Foxes in front after five minutes and fired in calmly for his second, although he seemed offside.

Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng headed against the bar after the break but Mahrez finished an incisive counter-attack to seal his first ever hat-trick.

Manchester City's defeat by Stoke sees Leicester leapfrog them at the summit.

Swansea, meanwhile, remain 15th having won only once in their last 11 games.
