The Foxes roar back to the Premier League with a dominant display, securing the Championship trophy after defeating Preston North End 3-0. This emphatic victory follows hot on the heels of their automatic promotion confirmed last Friday by QPR’s surprise win over rivals Leeds United.
Leading the charge for Leicester was none other than the evergreen Jamie Vardy, bagging a brace to further cement his legend status. Kasey McAteer also etched his name on the scoresheet, contributing to a decisive win that solidifies Leicester’s return to the top flight.
Celebrations will erupt at the King Power Stadium next Saturday, as Leicester raises the Championship trophy after their final home fixture against Blackburn Rovers. This title victory holds even greater significance as it marks the second consecutive Championship crown claimed by a former Pep Guardiola disciple. Enzo Maresca, Leicester’s manager, follows in the footsteps of Vincent Kompany, who led Burnley to glory last season.
The battle for second place remains fiercely contested, with Leeds United and Ipswich Town locked on points. However, Leeds hold a slight advantage with one extra game to play.
