Leicester City 3-1 Everton: Vardy at the double as champion crowned in style

Two goals from Jamie Vardy and one from Andy King saw Leicester City celebrate winning the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Everton.

Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City celebrated its Premier League title triumph with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Everton on Saturday.

Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday ensured Claudio Ranieri's side would be crowned champion, and it ended a week of partying across the city with another exemplary performance in front of a jubilant crowd at the King Power Stadium.

Having been serenaded before kickoff by opera star Andrea Bocelli, who sang "Nessun Dorma" and "Por Ti Volare" while sporting a personalized Leicester shirt, the home fans were sent into raptures when Vardy - back from suspension - opened the scoring after just five minutes from Andy King's cross.
