Description:
Leicester City have regained their Premier League status after sealing automatic promotion from the Championship.<br/><br/>Going into the penultimate round of fixtures, the Foxes needed to win one of their remaining two matches to go up, while their return could be sealed even sooner if Leeds lost at Queens Park Rangers.<br/><br/>And on Friday night, their fate was confirmed at the earliest opportunity as Daniel Farke's side were beaten 4-0 in West London, with Ilias Chair and Lucas Andersen netting first-half goals for the hosts before Lyndon Dykes and Sam Field sealed the win.<br/><br/>In the immediate aftermath of the final whistle at Loftus Road, Leicester's social media account shared a video of the players rejoicing, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leading the animated celebrations.<br/><br/>The 25-year-old midfielder then revealed that there are no signs of the party slowing down among the squad, writing on X: 'Right… who’s out in Leicester tonight?'<br/><br/><br/>Meanwhile, Wilfred Ndidi wrote: 'Congratulations to me, the boys, the staff the club, and the amazing fans.. 2 more to go!!! We back!!'<br/><br/>Stephy Mavididi wrote: 'Is it still too early? PREMIER LEAGUE BABY' <br/><br/>Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen added: 'We are going up, We are going up' <br/><br/>The club's social media team also got involved with the action by poking fun at the promotion rivals following their defeat.<br/><br/>In February Leeds completed a late comeback against the Foxes, with goals from Connor Roberts, Patrick Bamford, and a Wout Faes enough to secure three points at Elland Road.<br/><br/>The Yorkshire side later shared scenes from the stands with their fans signing the Kaiser Chiefs' 2004 hit I Predict a Riot.<br/><br/>Before the full-time whistle in Friday's clash between the Whites and QPR, Leicester returned fire by tweeting the song's title in a clear tongue-in-cheek reference to February's clash. <br/><br/>The result confirms a positive end to what has been an up-and-down season for the King Power Stadium outfit.<br/><br/>Leicester now enter their final two games of the campaign knowing victories away at Preston on Monday, and at home to Blackburn on the final day of the season would secure the Championship title with only Ipswich able to deny them the title.<br/><br/>Enzo Maresca's side enjoyed a flying start to the season and looked certain to bounce straight back to the Premier League - they were 17 points clear of Leeds at the turn of the year - before an almighty wobble saw them lose six times in 10 matches through February to April.<br/><br/>But a 2-1 win over play-off hopefuls West Brom on April 20 took them back to the top of the table and Tuesday's 5-0 triumph over Southampton meant their fate was firmly in their hands.<br/><br/>Speaking after their midweek demolition over the Saints, Maresca said: 'It has been a long season, 51 official matches,' Maresca said. 'Before tonight's game, we didn't know how many points we needed. Two, three, four, five, they lose, they win, who knows?<br/><br/>'The good feeling about tonight is now we know that with one win you get promoted. Two days off,
