Football

Former captain Wes Morgan and team-mate Marc Albrighton have reflected on Leicester City's 5,000-1 Premier League triumph in 2016.

Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton have recalled the events of 2 May 2016, when Leicester City secured the Premier League title. The championship was confirmed after second-placed Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Leicester players watched the fixture at the home of striker Jamie Vardy.

Morgan stated that the squad required a police escort to reach the house due to the number of supporters gathered outside, according to Sky Sports. The defender described the atmosphere as the most emotional experience of his career. Albrighton noted that the group remained together until the early morning hours to celebrate the achievement.

Leicester City began the 2015-16 season as outsiders with bookmakers offering odds of 5,000-1 for them to win the league, per The Guardian. The club eventually finished 10 points clear at the top of the table. The anniversary marks 10 years since the Midlands club became the sixth different team to win the Premier League trophy since its inception in 1992.
