Caglar Soyuncu’s second-half header gave Leicester City a 2-1 win at Manchester United that confirmed Manchester City as champions.
Leicester took a 10th-minute lead when Luke Thomas met a Youri Tielemans cross to volley in a stunning first Premier League goal.
Man Utd levelled only five minutes later as PL debutant Amad Diallo set up Mason Greenwood to net his sixth goal in as many matches.
But although Man Utd brought on Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani in the second half, Leicester retook the lead on 66 minutes with Soyuncu powerfully heading in Marc Albrighton’s cross.
Substitute Bruno Fernandes had the best chance to keep the title race alive but he shot wide late on as United slipped 10 points behind their local rivals with only three matches to play.
Leicester move above Chelsea into third and are now eight points above fifth-placed West Ham United, who have a match in hand.
