Leicester City: Last Season
Leicester City defied the odds and became the Premier League champions in what was a fairytale season which shocked world football.
Claudio Ranieri led The Foxes to the top of the table in a record breaking season which was marked by the goalscoring exploits of Jamie Vardy, creativity of Riyad Mahrez and tenacity of N’Golo Kante as Leicester won the league by ten points ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Leicester lost only three matches all season and were deserved champions come the end of May. Eyebrows were raised when Claudio ‘The Tinkerman’ Ranieri was appointed prior to the season but any concerns they had were soon forgotten as Leicester began the season at a canter, remaining unbeaten until the end of September before being undone in a 5-2 defeat to Arsenal.
The Foxes then took 26 points from their next ten matches to top the Premier League table at Christmas and get fans dreaming of the impossible as Jamie Vardy broke the Premier League record previously set by Ruud Van Nistelrooy of scoring in 11 consecutive matches.
Vardy extended his run to fourteen matches and Leicester went on to record impressive victories against both Liverpool and Manchester United to extend their lead at the top. The 5000/1 outsiders for the Premier League title then won the title with two games to spare, keeping six clean sheets in their last seven matches to clinch the title. It was a truly remarkable achievement and a season that will live long in the memory of all football fanatics.
