FANTASTIC FOXES: Leicester rejoice after clinching Premier League title

Leicester City created history by winning the English Premier League title on Monday night.

The East Midlands club became the 24th team to win England's first division premiership and just the sixth in the Premier League era after Chelsea held Tottenham to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

The result means that the Foxes are seven points clear of second-placed Spurs with two matches to go in the 2015/16 season, giving them an unassailable lead no matter what happens in those games.

Leicester's first team congregated at the house of striker Jamie Vardy to watch the Blues come from two goals to hold Spurs in London and there were amazing scenes at the final whistle when the players knew they had secured the trophy.

Below is a collection of Tweets from almost the entire Leicester squad that has delivered 77 points in 36 matches, including 22 wins, 11 draws and just three losses, scoring 64 goals and conceding 34 in the process.

Congratulations Leicester City FC!
