Leicester City's Premier League title win: The greatest underdog story of all time...
Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday ensured Claudio Ranieri's side would be crowned champions, and they ended a week of partying across the city with another exemplary performance in front of a jubilant crowd at the King Power Stadium.
Captain Wes Morgan lifted the trophy above his head in one of the most unlikely and unforeseen stories in sporting history.
Leicester started the season as 5000/1 outsiders to win the league and were contenders for relegation.
But 22 wins and only three defeats in 36 games meant they secured the title on Monday night with two matches to spare as Tottenham's spirited challenge ended with a draw at Chelsea.
Leicester's fans were treated to a live performance from Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli before their match with Everton this afternoon.
The 57-year-old sang Nessun Dorma and Time to Say Goodbye in a Leicester shirt alongside Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri.
Leicester won the game 3-1 thanks to two goals from star striker Jamie Vardy either side of Andy King's sweeping finish, while Kevin Mirallas bagged a consolation for the Toffees.
Congratulations to the best team in the EPL now.. Leicester City Fc.
