Leicester City has been crowned champions of the Championship, securing their return to the Premier League after a remarkable season. The team clinched the title with a 3-0 victory over Preston on Friday night, highlighted by Jamie Vardy's two goals. Vardy's performance this season has been pivotal, contributing significantly to the team's success. Leicester's promotion was achieved under the management of Enzo Maresca, who faced challenges in the latter half of the season but ultimately led the team to triumph. The victory not only marks their return to the top flight but also breaks the points record previously held by Manchester City. Jobi McAnuff praised the team's recruitment after losing key players last summer, and Marc Albrighton expressed confidence in their success. The match was attended by 5700 fans, celebrating the achievement.

And it is 3-0. McAteer with a close range header. That has been as straightforward as any win #LCFC have had this season so far. Preston, who have nothing to play for, haven't laid a glove on them. City look every inch the dominant force and Champions of the Championship.
