- Leicester City win EPL title for first time

- Leicester's fairy tale: From impending doom to glorious resurrection

A club that was on the brink of relegation last season, stand today as champions of England, an unprecedented story that will go down in the annuls of EPL history.

As history beckoned, Leicester players watched the title-deciding match together, even as club manager Claudio Ranieri was travelling back from Italy where he had gone to celebrate his mother's birthday.

And, at the end of 90 minutes when Chelsea fought back to hold Tottenham, Leicester players could barely contain themselves as the champions tag was now prefixed to their names.

Here are a few pictures from the Foxes' celebrations at striker Jamie Vardy's home...
