Savage hails "greatest achievement in British sport"

Ex-Leicester City midfielder Robbie Savage has insisted that the club's Premier League title triumph is the "greatest achievement in British sport".

The Foxes were 5,000-1 shots to finish top of the table at the start of the season, with most bookmakers tipping them to be relegated.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw away at Chelsea this evening secured a historic first title for the East Midlands outfit.

"An unbelievable night for Leicester City. This is the greatest achievement in British sport," he told BBC Sport.

"I was a massive skeptic of Claudio Ranieri but he proved me so wrong. We will never see this again."

Leicester's previous highest finish in the top flight was second during the 1928-29 season.
