Leicester return to Premier League after 10-year absence

Leicester City are returning to the Premier League.

Leicester's 10-year Premier League exile is over as a combination of results secured Nigel Pearson's side promotion back to the top flight.

QPR's defeat at Bournemouth and Derby's failure to win at Middlesbrough were just what was required by Leicester, who had beaten Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 on Friday night.

"I am delighted for everyone associated with the club. It has been a long time coming," Pearson said.

"Now we want to finish the season on a high and try to win the Championship."
