Fairytale champions Leicester won the Premier League for the first time in the club’s 132-year history after second placed Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Monday and the footballing world collectively went:
WOW!

And plaudits from some of the biggest names in the Premier League:
Chelsea captain, John Terry, after the outgoing champions’ fightback from 2-0 down ended Spurs’ hopes:

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher:

Australian cricket legend Shane Warne:
Finally, Spurs fan and super singer, Adele:
Us? We are still stuck at WOW!
