Leicester City 2015–16 — The 5,000–1 Champions
5,000-1 odds. Vardy 24 goals. 10 points clear. Greatest sporting upset in football history.
Leicester City's 2015–16 Premier League title win is statistically the greatest sporting upset in football history. Pre-season odds of 5,000–1 against them winning the title were surpassed as Jamie Vardy (24 goals), Riyad Mahrez (17 goals + PFA Player of the Year), N'Golo Kanté, and manager Claudio Ranieri produced 23 wins from 38 games and a 10-point winning margin. Vardy broke the record for scoring in consecutive Premier League games (11). They had survived relegation by a single point the previous season.
