Leicester City secured its first Premier League title without playing May 2 after second-place Tottenham drew 2-2 at Chelsea in one of the biggest-ever triumphs by an underdog in sports.

Jubilant Leicester players watched the Tottenham-Chelsea game at top-scorer Jamie Vardy's house, and were filmed jumping up and down with their arms round each other.

Leicester, which was almost relegated last year, started the season with 5,000-1 odds of taking the title for the first time in its 132-year history. (AP)
