Wout Faes and Dennis Praet are allowed to have a party without playing themselves. Due to the 4-0 defeat of Leeds, Leicester is assured of the top 2 in the Championship and promotion to the Premier League.
Leicester’s players, staff and fans closely followed the match of first pursuer Leeds. Because with a defeat against QPR, the ticket for the Premier League was a fact.
And QPR did what the Leicester supporters dreamed of: beating Leeds. Sam Field put the 4-0 on the board 5 minutes before the end.
With 2 games to go, leader Leicester is assured of a place in the top 2, which entitles them to promotion.
Wout Faes, Dennis Praet and their teammates will travel to Preston on Monday and will host Blackburn in their last match on May 4.
Do they give their promotion extra shine with the title? Only Ipswich can put a stop to that.
