Jamie Vardy was at the double for the Foxes while Andy King netted one in a simple victory over the Toffees in their first appearance since being confirmed as league winners.
Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City celebrated their Premier League title triumph with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Everton on Saturday.
Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday ensured Claudio Ranieri’s side would be crowned champions, and they ended a week of partying across the city with another exemplary performance in front of a jubilant crowd at the King Power Stadium.
Having been serenaded before kick-off by opera star Andrea Bocelli, who sang Nessun Dorma and Por Ti Volare while sporting a personalised Leicester shirt, the home fans were sent into raptures when Vardy – back from suspension – opened the scoring after just five minutes from Andy King’s cross.
And King, who has been with the club throughout their rise through the divisions, capped a memorable day when he swept in the second after good work by Riyad Mahrez.
Everton enjoyed plenty of possession but could only muster two half-chances for Romelu Lukaku before Leicester bagged their third, with Vardy firing home from the penalty spot after being fouled by Matthew Pennington.
Vardy missed a second penalty but the mood inside a sodden King Power could not be dampened – even by Kevin Mirallas’ late consolation – as Ranieri’s team were crowned with three more points and the Premier League trophy in their final home match of an unforgettable season.
