5 matches which defined Leicester City's Premier League triumph

Leicester City have won the Premier League after being at 5000/1 odds at the start of the season

3) Leicester 2-1 Chelsea, December 2015

Mahrez scored a spectacular goal help beat Chelsea 2-1

The Foxes played defending champions Chelsea at the King Power where a win would take them back to the top of the Premier League table. Chelsea, on the other hand, were struggling and a loss would put them within a point of the relegation zone.

This game would have held special significance for Italian manager Claudio Ranieri as he had been fired by the London club back in 2004 and has had strained relations with the Chelsea manager.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez scored in the first half and tormented ageing Chelsea defender John Terry throughout. Loic Remy pulled a goal back late in the second half but it was not enough as Chelsea lost their ninth match in fifteen games. Leicester had made a huge statement by defeating the defending champions of England.
