Leicester 3 - Everton 1: Premier League champions continue their party in style
LEICESTER continued their week-long celebrations with an emphatic victory over Everton five days after being crowned champions of England.
Vardy and King (centre) scored for Leicester as Bocelli (right) got in on the act
The players - unlikely champions after starting the season 5000/1 on to win the title - got their medals at the end of a convincing 3-1 rout at the King Power Stadium.
Jamie Vardy scored twice - his first coming just five minutes in when prodding home from Andy King's dinked cross.
King doubled their lead before the break after Riyad Mahrez had broken into the box from the right, before Vardy converted his first of two penalties.
Kasper Schmeichel was dominant at the other end and blocked a Oumar Niasse chip - the best Everton had to offer on a soggy evening in Leicestershire until Kevin Mirallas scored with three minutes left.
And manager Claudio Ranieri was serenaded at full time by a sold-out King Power Stadium eagerly awaiting captain Wes Morgan to lift the trophy.

Vardy bagged his second of the evening with a low penalty after he was upended by Matthew Pennington when through on goal.
But the striker failed to wrap up a hat-trick when going for power with a second spot kick - given for Darron Gibson's late challenge on Jeffrey Schlupp.
And Everton made for an entertaining finish when Mirallas scored a neat solo goal that was warmly applauded by all four corners of the ground.
