Preston 0-3 Leicester City: Foxes seal Championship title in style

Leicester City cruised to a 3-0 win over Preston on Monday to clinch the Championship title with a game to spare.

Jamie Vardy was the star for the Foxes as he scored in both halves before Kasey McAteer made sure of the points with an unmarked header.

Abdul Fatawu had the chance to cap an already memorable night for the travelling fans but hit the post with his curler.

Preston slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat, while Leicester go into their final game against Blackburn Rovers with the knowledge that they will lift the trophy after the final whistle.
