Tom Adams tells the story of how Leicester, Claudio Ranieri and his players defied all the odds to clinch the most astonishing title win in football history.

The party has begun!
-
Things are still boiling over at Stamford Bridge near the tunnel. Looks like Vorm is at the heart of the confrontation. Ugly scenes, just as there were nearly all match.
However, this is Leicester's night! And the cameras cut to scenes in the Midlands!

The greatest accomplishment in the history of English football?
-
Spurs had to win to keep the title race alive, but Chelsea have fought back to draw 2-2 and ensure Leicester are the most unlikely of Premier League champions.
The 5000-1 fairytale is complete.
FT
IT'S ALL OVER!
LEICESTER CITY ARE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!
90+7'
You have to laugh, really... That's a NINTH yellow card for Spurs, with Mason scything down Hazard just as Chelsea were looking to break.
Spurs have lost the plot here, and somehow Dier escapes a second yellow for a challenge just before Mason's booking - the Chelsea players let Clattenburg know, but still no red for Spurs.

Just another terrible tackle... this time Kane slides in late on Willian. Pure frustration that, and now Demebele sees yellow too! Again for getting involved in another clash after the foul.

'One Ranieri... There's only one Ranieri!'
Chelsea's title defence may have ended a while ago, but they're certainly happy with the team taking the trophy from them... as it stands!

Hefty tackle from Costa leaves Alderweireld needing treatment.... Gives us time to watch that Hazard strike one more time. Wow.
SIX minutes added on...

Mikel also shown a yellow card for protesting. The yellow had already been given to Dier, little point in picking up that booking.

Another melee! Basically every outfield player is in shot after Dier chops down Hazard. It results in a yellow for Dier, and this is all getting rather unsavoury...

Meanwhile, Fabregas is FURIOUSLY showing the officials his hand, claiming he has been stamped on by Lamela... no action is taken.
86'
It was almost La Liga-esque how the camera panned to distraught Spurs fans after that goal. Kane, Vertonghen, looking deflated and trying to come to terms with this Chelsea comeback.
85'
There's no way we can repeat what the Chelsea fans are chanting now... That's Hazard's first goal at Stamford Bridge in a year!
As it stands. Leicester are champions!
83'
GOAL! OH HAZARD THAT IS STUNNING!
Could this be the goal that hands Leicester the title?
It's a brilliant turn from Costa, who then cuts the ball back to Hazard, and despite being off balance and about to go to ground, the Belgian finds the top corner with an unstoppable effort!

There have been some terrible tackles all evening, but now two brilliant ones within seconds. Alderweireld robs the ball off Willian to block the cross, and then Costa gets the ball back before seeing his cross blocked as well!
