Leicester City just pulled off the improbable, and they’re celebrating in kind.
Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday gave Leicester City the 2015-16 Premier League title. It’s a remarkable feat for the Foxes, who earned promotion from a lower division just two years ago and entered the season with absurd 5,000-1 odds to win the EPL crown.
Leicester City was idle Monday, but players convened at striker Jamie Vardy’s house to watch Tottenham-Chelsea determine their fate. When the clock struck zero to clinch the Foxes’ title, Leicester City players went nuts, and left back Christian Fuchs captured the incredible scene on video.

We would tell the players to act like they’ve been there before, but considering this is the first EPL title in Leicester City’s 132-year history, we’d say they deserve to party like there’s no tomorrow.
