Leicester City Win The Premier League

Leicester City pulls off the biggest sporting upset in history by winning the Premier League after Spurs fail to beat Chelsea after surrendering a 2-0 first half lead.

As the ball curled over the outstretched hand of Hugo Lloris, and Eden Hazard wheeled away to celebrate with his teammates as if they had won the Premier League title, I had mixed feelings.

A few tears trickled down my cheeks as my body and mind tried to make sense of the greatest sporting achievement in history. It is a story that will be told for the next 100-years. It shoves a gag in the mouths of those who do not believe that anything is possible. It is a working class victory. It is a triumph for the little man. It is a victory for life.

And then, my thoughts went to Claudio Ranieri, Jamie Vardy, and the rest of the Leicester City Titans. Where are they at this hour? Who is celebrating with them? How are they celebrating? And then it didn’t feel right. They are warriors. I am sure, secretly, they would have preferred that Hazard curler had hit the bar so that they could win it in style at home to Everton on Saturday.
