Leicester City are Premier League champions.
The Foxes clinched the title without even playing, as Tottenham Hotspur threw away a 2-0 lead to arch rivals Chelsea.
It all looked good for Spurs, as Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son scored to give Mauricio Pochettino’s side a commanding two goal lead.
But goals from Gary Cahill and Eden Hazard killed them off, and Leicester have their finest moment.
The only place more entertaining than Stamford Bridge was the Twittersphere, which was in fine form all night.
Here’s the best of the reaction:
It’s fair to say Gary Lineker was looking forward to the game:
I'm so excited tonight I could pull Fellaini's hair.

There was plenty of support at Stamford Bridge, and not just for Chelsea:
Probably a sad indictment of how far #CFC have fallen this season that they are supporting #LCFC in the title race. pic.twitter.com/ujw4RC5se2

But those chances took a hit when Kane slotted the opener, ridding any doubt over him in the process:
I didn't think he'd hold up this long but Harry Kane has proved he's a baller.

But some just couldn’t help taking the piss:

Have Harry Kane's lips ever touched one another?

Heung-Min Son doubled Spurs’ advantage before half time, but some still had trouble with his nationality:
David May has just called heung min son Chinese on mutv, the guys Korean ???

2-0 down, the scrapping soon started:

But some offered Mousa Dembele a reasonable excuse:
Diego Costa has a very, very gouge-able face, to be fair for a second.

If you're gonna stick your thumb in anyone's eye, it may as well be Diego Costa

Chelsea’s Willian had his own way of hitting back at his critics:

But it was Gary Cahill who gave the Blues a lifeline:

That perked up the pubs in Leicester:

And they would have erupted when Hazard equalised:
EDEN HAZARD WHAT A GOAL https://t.co/N9h5s8vtJH
— SweeperGK (@SweeperGK) May 2, 2016
Obviously that prompted people to question his form:
Eden Hazard, where exactly have you been all season? #CFC
— Mark Austin (@markaustintv) May 2, 2016
Some praised the timing of his impact:
Eden Hazard decided the title race on the 3rd of May 2015. Has he decided it again on the 2nd of May 2016? 2-2

And it all means Leicester City are Premier League champions:
