Leicester City are Premier League chaampions and it makes no sense. It also establishes some amazing new statistical realities.

Meanwhile, Kasper and Peter Schmeichel become the first biological father-son combo to win Premier League titles.

What about Andy King? The less-celebrated Leicester City midfielder is now the first person to win the Premier League, the Championship and 1st Division with the same team.
