Football fans in England are celebrating a fairytale win. Leicester City won England's Premier League for the first time in their 132-year history. They beat many big teams to the title. It may be the greatest win in sports history. Leicester were bottom of the 20-team League last year. They changed their style of play and got new players and a new coach. They became almost unbeatable. They won the title on Monday and their supporters went crazy.

Leicester got to the Premier League two years ago. They were favourites to go back down again. No one gave them a chance of winning the League. They were 5,000-1 against winning the title. If you had put a $1 bet on them to win, you could now collect $5,000. Leicester's team cost less to buy than just one star in the top teams. Two Leicester players won awards in England. It is also likely that Leicester's manager will be world coach of the year.

Back to the Leicester City lesson.
