Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin thinks Leicester deserve to win the Premier League title after seeing his side lose 4-0 at the King Power Stadium.
Goals from Riyad Mahrez, Leonardo Ulloa and Marc Albrighton saw Leicester move to within five points of the title with just three games to play.
And Guidolin hopes his fellow Italian Claudio Ranieri can lead his side to a first title in the club's history.
"Leicester deserve to win the title because this is a very strong team," Guidolin told Sky Sports.
"This is a dream for Leicester and I understand a few weeks ago why Claudio had tears [at Sunderland].
"I am very happy for him. I hope they can win it because they deserve it."
Guidolin watched his side capitulate after captain Ashley Williams' mistake gifted Mahrez a 10th-minute opener, but up until that moment the Italian was pleased with how his side started.
"We began the game very well," he added. "I was very happy in the first few minutes but after the first goal we had to change the mentality and the way we played.
"When Leicester are winning 1-0 it's very difficult to play against them because they counter-attack very quickly."
Swansea are safe this season but have now shipped seven goals in their last two games following last week's 3-0 defeat at Newcastle.
Next up is Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium next Sunday and Guidolin has warned his side they need to be motivated against Jurgen Klopp's side if they want to avoid another heavy defeat.
"Today I saw my team fight for 90 minutes against the strongest team in the Premier League," the Italian said.
