Hvornår vandt leicester city premier league?
2016
Leicester City F.C.
Leicester vandt Premier League den 2. maj 2016, efter at Tottenham smed en 2-0-føring mod Chelsea væk og spillede uafgjort 2-2 i "Battle of Stamford Bridge". Dermed blev den hurtigste syvårige oprykning til titlen fuldført, bortset fra Ipswich Town i 1962, og Leicester mødte en langt mere ulige tophold end Ipswich dengang. Bookmakerne mente, at Leicesters sejr var så usandsynlig, at Ladbrokes og William Hill tilbød odds 5.000-1 på den i starten af sæsonen. Ingen af bookmakerne havde nogensinde udbetalt så høje odds, og trofæet resulterede i den største udbetaling i britisk sportshistorie med en samlet gevinst på 25 millioner pund. Størrelsen af overraskelsen tiltrak klubben og byen Leicester global opmærksomhed. The Economist erklærede, at den ville blive "gennemgået for at få lektioner i ledelse". Flere kommentatorer har set det som en inspiration for andre klubber og som en grundlæggende ændring af de forventninger, som klubber af samme størrelse står over for i engelsk fodbold. Ranieris Leicester blev kendt for sin kontraangrebsstil, "utroligt tempo i de områder, hvor det er mest afgørende" og defensiv solidaritet. Spillerne blev ofte rost for deres arbejdsmoral og sammenhold, som var tydeligt i hele truppen. Som reaktion på Citys sejr i Premier League sagde bestyrelsesformand Richard Scudamore

Leicester City F.C.
Leicester won the Premier League on 2 May 2016 after Tottenham threw away a 2–0 lead against Chelsea, drawing 2–2 at the "Battle of Stamford Bridge". This completed the fastest seven-year rise to the title except for Ipswich Town in 1962, and Leicester faced a far more unequal top tier than Ipswich did back then. Bookmakers thought Leicester's victory was so unlikely that Ladbrokes and William Hill offered odds of 5,000–1 for it at the start of the season. Neither bookmaker had ever paid out such long odds, and the trophy resulted in the largest payout in British sporting history with total winnings of £25 million. The scale of the surprise attracted global attention for the club and the city of Leicester. The Economist declared it would be "pored over for management lessons". Several commentators have viewed it as an inspiration to other clubs and fundamentally transforming the expectations similar sized clubs face in English football. Ranieri's Leicester became known for their counterattacking style of play, "incredible pace in the areas it is most essential" and defensive solidarity. Players were often praised for their work ethic and togetherness which was apparent throughout the squad. Reacting to City winning the Premier League, Executive chairman Richard Scudamore said:
