Leicester City's heroes celebrated with lunch at an Italian restaurant on Tuesday after achieving one of the biggest upsets in sporting history by winning the English Premier League.

Thousands danced in the city's streets waving blue and white flags, while millions around the world watched in wonder as the one-time 5,000-1 underdogs sealed the title on Monday night.

After players and fans celebrated late into the night, the team including Italian manager Claudio Ranieri and top scorer Jamie Vardy dined out at the city's San Carlo restaurant Tuesday to celebrate becoming champions for the first time.

As hundreds of fans crowded the street outside, they tucked into lobster, fish and meat - but the players skipped the champagne for now, according to the restaurant's manager.
