Leicester City have pulled off the unthinkable and have remarkably won the 2015-16 Premier League title, after Tottenham Hotspur blew a two-goal lead at Stamford Bridge.
The Spurs were ahead 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and appear to be cruising to a comfortable and first victory away to Chelsea in 26 years.
However, Gary Cahill struck from a corner kick just before the hour mark and in the 83rd minute Eden Hazard curled in a superbly taken shot to end Spurs’ slim title hopes and hand the Foxes an unimaginable title.
With just three loses all season long and displaying a steely grit and determination during the run-in, it’s been a richly deserved title for the top-flight minnows.
Will we ever see anything like it again in the Premier League era? Who knows, but for now let’s allow the neutral and the Leicester fans the opportunity to savour the occasion.
Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:
The way that modern football is going, this is the best thing that has ever happened to the game. Money doesn’t buy you everything! #LCFC

Ranieri’s smartest move was telling his players back in August that they needed 80 points to survive relegation. Congrats, Leicester! #LCFC
