Leicester have won the league for the first time in their 132-year history and in a manner like no other. After failing to take all three points from Old Trafford, all they needed was Tottenham to slip up and they did.

The Foxes have pulled off a miracle this season after they narrowly avoided the drop in the previous campaign. This comes as a terrific achievement as they are one of the only five clubs to have won the Premier League.

With their title odds being as low as 5000/1 at the start of the campaign, the Premier League has yet again managed to take the footballing world by storm.
