The 132 years old drought of having a premier league title ended Monday night when Tottenham Hotspur failed to beat Chelsea and Leicester City became the winner of 2015-16 English Premiere League season. This is the first time they have triumphed the English topflight, in fact, they are the first club to debut their league title winning race after Nottingham Forest who did this back in 1977-78 and as far highest ranking so far for the King Power is concerned, they could only finish residing on the second position that too back in 1928-29. In short, Foxes delivered brilliance this year and sustained their peak position for most part of this year which is unbelievable for a side that was not even expected to finish among top four before session began. Arithmetically, Claudio Ranieri side is now seven points clear on the top and Tottenham, who is following them on the second position, has no chance to replace them after their failure to overcome North Londoners last night.
Moreover, if we look at the journey of Leicester this year, this is the same side that was almost relegated last year and this year too they were almost at bottom from November 2014 to April 2015 but their seven consecutive wins changed the fate in their favor and they did not look back. Alongside, if we look at the odds most of the Sportsbooks were giving in their favor, it was a big £72,000 on a £50 bet, guess for those betters who would have placed the bets with that odds! The 32-year-old Jamaica defender Wes Morgan takes it the best feeling of his career and said after confirming their title, “It’s the best feeling of my career and I couldn’t be prouder that it’s as part of this team. Everyone’s worked so hard for this, nobody believed we could do it, but here we are, Premier League champions and deservedly so.
“I’ve never known a spirit like the one between these boys, we’re like brothers. People saw it last season when everyone expected us to be relegated, but we fought back to prove people wrong. This season’s been a continuation of that. We’ve built on the momentum, but I don’t think anyone believed it would come to this.” Another forward Jamie Vardy as well added on this achievement, “It’s an unbelievable feeling. I’ve never known anything like it. We were scrapping to stay in the league last season and on Saturday we’ll be lifting the trophy. That gives you an idea of how much hard work has gone into this season from every single player and member of staff.
“It’s the biggest achievement in the history of a great club and we all feel privileged to be part of it.”
