Leicester City have completed one
of the most remarkable stories in
the history of English football by
winning the Premier League title.
Written off as relegation
candidates at the start of the
season, when the bookmakers
made Leicester 5,000-1 outsiders
to be crowned champions, they
secured the first top-flight title in
the club’s history after Tottenham
were unable to beat Chelsea on
Monday night.
Do not adjust your reality: this
really is happening. For the last
three months Leicester City’s
gloriously bold progress towards
a first English top-flight title has
unfurled like a slow breaking
wave. A draw against Manchester
United on Sunday afternoon left
Claudio Ranieri’s collection of off-
cuts and rising talents a step
closer. Tottenham’s failure to
beat Chelsea on Monday night
was the final nudge. The wave
has finally broken on a Premier
League title some are already
calling the most unlikely sporting
victory of all time.
