Journeymen Leicester turn from zeroes to heroes

Leicester’s remarkable rise from Barclays Premier League relegation strugglers to champions is complete — with a little help from the previous holders.

Reigning champions Chelsea drew 2-2 at home to Tottenham last night to gift their former boss Claudio Ranieri a stunning top-flight title.

Second-half goals from Gary Cahill and Eden Hazard were enough to finally down second-placed Spurs’ charge but the night and season belong to Leicester and their Italian manager.
