We all saw this coming didn’t we? The day Leicester City win the Premier League, would be the day every single sports website on earth, upgrades it’s server capacity. There was always going to be an internet meltdown and right now, it’s well underway!
Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-2 draw against Chelsea effectively handed the Premier League title to Leicester City – a complete shift in fortunes for a team that spent large portions of last season battling relegation.
As soon as the final whistle was blown at Stamford Bridge, fans, sporting personalities, and world icons all took to Twitter to congratulate the Foxes for their impeccable title triumph! We’ve taken the liberty to compile some of the best tweets below!
