Leicester Up - Doncaster Down

This match was always going to be more about what happened off the pitch than on it. With Doncaster fans listening for Birmingham's result and Leicester fans soaking up the promotion party atmosphere, the game seemed to be an unnecessary distraction. City were looking for victory to push them over the 100 point mark and striker David Nugent was looking for his 20th league goal of the season - a feat no Leicester player has achieved since Gary Lineker. It was fitting then that Nugent's 75th minute penalty, after Mahrez was fouled in the box, secured both achievements for the Foxes. In a cruel twist for Doncaster fans, two late Birmingham goals confirmed their relegation from the Championship. It was a fact that wasn't going to spoil Leicester's party.

With Birchenall running around the pitch before the match, free beer provided to every City fan, a giant circus tent outside the ground and the Mexican wave rippling around a 30,000 strong crowd, City fans were going to celebrate. The league trophy and Championship medals was presented after the match and fireworks were set off as the City players completed a well deserved lap of honour with their children. It was a moment to savour and one that Foxes fans can bask in over the course of the summer. Next season, City step into the unknown after a ten year absence from the Premier League. The only thing we can be sure of is that Nigel Pearson's squad will be as well prepared as any to take on the challenge that lies ahead. It promises to be an exciting journey and one that the Foxes will embark upon with confidence high and great memories of today still fresh in their minds.
