A year later, Leicester is already back in the Premier League

This Monday, Leicester – who had already validated their promotion to the Premier League – had the opportunity to complete their excellent season in the Championship by winning on the lawn of Preston. If successful, the Foxes had the opportunity to win the second division championship title. It’s done for Jamie Vardy’s teammates with a big away victory (0-3).

The unalterable 37-year-old striker opened the scoring in the 37th minute (0-1) before scoring twice in the 52nd minute (0-2). McAteer (0-3, 67th) punctuated the great meeting of Enzo Maresca’s players, officially champions. Everyone is now looking forward to seeing Leicester in the Premier League again next season.
