Striker Jamie Vardy's house exploded with excitement as he and his teammates watched Leicester become the new Premier League champions.
 |
Having only managed a 1-1 draw at Man Utd on Sunday, Leicester had to wait for the latest match of round 36, Tottenham v Chelsea, to find out if they could be crowned champions early. And the 2-2 draw, with Eden Hazard scoring the winner, in this London derby turned the Premier League's wildest story into reality. |
 |
Leicester officially became the Premier League champion with 77 points, seven points more than Tottenham, the second-placed team and can only earn a maximum of six more points from the final two rounds. |
 |
While coach Claudio Ranieri had to return to Italy to be with his mother, the entire Leicester first team gathered at striker Jamie Vardy's house to watch the Chelsea - Tottenham match and wait for the championship moment. |
 |
They hugged each other, bursting into joy when the final whistle blew for the Chelsea - Tottenham match. |
 |
Homeowner Vardy (right, raising his fist) is one of the players with the most important contributions to Leicester's glorious journey, when he contributed 22 goals - more than a third of the total 64 goals the team scored in 36 Premier League rounds this season. |
 |
The striker who just received the Footballer of the Season award from the Football Writers' Association (FFW) also shouted until his voice was hoarse with excitement. |
 |
Not being crowned on the pitch, with the fans sharing the joy, is considered a big loss for Leicester players. But they will certainly have an unforgettable Cup ceremony at home at King Power this weekend when they host Everton in round 37. |
The moment Leicester players burst into tears at Vardy's house was shared by midfielder Christian Fuchs on social media.
