Leicester City celebrate their Premier League title triumph.


Nine months since starting the season as relegation candidates and a 5,000-1 shot for the title, captain Wes Morgan lifted the Premier League trophy to a background of fireworks and cheers at the King Power Stadium.

 

Nobody could have foreseen the Foxes winning their first-ever league title in this money-dominated era, yet their spirit, determination and skill saw them triumph with two matches to spare.

 

The players, like City's fans, showed no hangover from the celebrations that have been ongoing since Tottenham drew at Chelsea on Tuesday (AEST), with Jamie Vardy netting either side of fans' favourite Andy King in a 3-1 win against Everton.

 

The party now rolls onto Chelsea and a title parade on 16 May, with Ranieri overwhelmed by a memorable afternoon that included world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli's singing next to the Leicester boss before kick-off.
