Leicester City sealed promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, even before playing their round 45 match fixture.

Enzo Maresca’s side were confirmed promoted after title contenders, Leeds United, suffered a surprise four-nil defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers.

Two goals in each half from the boys from Loftus Road were enough to seal Premier League football for the Foxes, who can secure no lower than second place in the Championship standings.

"Congratulations to me, the boys, the staff, the club, and the amazing fans... 2 more to go!!! We're back!! 😁”
