Peter and Kasper Schmeichel have entered Premier League history by becoming the second father and son to both win the title.
Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips became the first father-son duo to achieve this after Wright-Phillips was part of Chelsea’s title-winning side in 2006, while Wright won it with Arsenal in 1998.
Congratulations to @kschmeichel1 and his @LCFC teammates for winning @premierleague

Proud does not cover it. Can't find the right words. (I can but they'll block my account if I use them!) https://t.co/xQ2Eqm7MCe

Leicester are the first 'new' winners of the English top flight in 38 years - the last first-time champions were Nottingham Forest in 1978. The Foxes are also the 24th team to win the top-flight title.
