Striker Jamie Vardy and his teammates were elated when Leicester became 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 vs Chelsea, to know whether they could be crowned champions early. And the 2-2 draw, with Eden Hazard scoring the decisive goal in this London derby, turned the most unlikely story of the Premier League into reality. |
 |
| Leicester officially became the Premier League champions with 77 points, seven more than Tottenham, the second-placed team that 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 with joy when the final whistle of the Chelsea - Tottenham match sounded. |
 |
| 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 Stadium 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.
