In a passionate duel on Monday night, Lister City spread their wings like a lion and defeated Preston with a perfect 3-0 record, locking up the Championship title one round ahead of schedule. The "Foxes", led by veterans, have written a brilliant page in the journey of the English Second Division, which is their eighth title in history, successfully surpassing their city rival Manchester City to become the most winning team in the Second Division.
Before the game, Lister City had long locked up their ticket to the Premier League next season. The players showed an indomitable fighting spirit in the game, with 62% of the possession in the match. The striker scored a goal before half-time and one in the second half, and the 37-year-old has contributed 18 goals and two assists in 34 league matches this season, and remains a mainstay of the team. Meanwhile, 22-year-old midfielder Cass McCartney gave Preston the 'Three Eggs', giving Lister City a seven-point lead over Yeovil, and an early lead in the league.
However, behind all this splendor, Leicester City has been accused of violating the Premier League's "Profit and Sustainability Regulations". When they return to the Premier League next season, they could face the penalty of having points deducted from their tally, which may mean that they will start the season with a 'negative' tally.
