Leicester celebrated their Premier League promotion in style by recreating their famous Jamie Vardy party scenes from eight years ago.

Leicester stars were hosted by manager Enzo Maresca and watched Leeds get thrashed 4-0 by QPR at Loftus Road.

And in a video posted by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, the midfielder showed the full-time result as the whistle went and the resulting celebrations in a living room full of frantic Foxes.

The crushing defeat of Leeds meant that Leicester were promoted as they cannot finish outside the top two - seeing them return to the top tier at the first time of asking.

The jubilant scenes shown by Dewsbury-Hall largely resembled similar celebrations that occurred in 2016 when Leicester were crowned Premier League champions against all odds.

On that occasion, it was a different west London club that assured them glory when Chelsea drew 2-2 with Tottenham, a match which was watched by the Leicester team in Vardy's house and where a party broke out after their league title was confirmed.

This time Maresca played host, despite telling the media he would stay in with his family and have a pizza while only having one eye on the Leeds game.

The Leicester X account shared a post captioned 'last night at Enzo's' which showed the manager surrounded by his players.

Leicester's social media accounts were in party-mode, sharing several posts from their players on what was a night to remember for the King Power Stadium outfit.

Among them include summer signing Stephy Mavididi, who wrote: "Isit still to early? PREMIER LEAGUE BABY."

Dewsbury-Hall had time to post: "Right… who’s out in Leicester tonight?"

And Wilfried Ndidi said: "Congratulations to me, the boys, the staff the club and the amazing fans.. 2 more to go!!! We back!!"

Leicester also poked a little fun at Leeds, referencing the song from the Kaiser Chiefs from the Yorkshire city by writing: "I Predict A Riot."

It was only a matter of time until famous Leicester fan and former Foxes star Gary Lineker got involved, tweeting: "Back in the big time. Come on you Foxes, @LCFC."

Leicester can no longer drop out of the top two but Ipswich Town could still overtake them to win the Championship despite being lower than Leeds.

The Whites have one match left in the Championship whereas Ipswich have three and are just a point behind them.

Maresca's men, meanwhile, will become champions if they win their two remaining games.

Leicester are next in action on Monday night against Preston North End at Deepdale - a clash that is exclusively live on talkSPORT 2- before their final match of the season at home where they face Blackburn Rovers.

It means that no matter the result against the Lancashire outfit, there will be more scenes of celebration in Leicester on the final day - but considerably more if they can bag the title.

Leeds, meanwhile, will drop outside the top two Ipswich beat Hull on Saturday night, or Coventry in their game in hand on Tuesday.

Manager Daniel Farke said: "First of all congratulations to QPR for a deserved win, and to Leicester for promotion.

"In this game the first 20 minutes was decisive, We didn't do the basics. QPR used it in an effective way to be 2-0 up.

"Then we woke up, but a side fighting for relegation in their home stadium will always be difficult to play. Two set-pieces in the second half and the game was done.

"We were far away from our best and definitely not good enough to win the points.

"We have to be disappointed and self-critical. There have not been too many tough days this season but this is our toughest result.

"But one thing is for sure, there is no need to dwell on it and from Monday we will keep on going. it's not in our hands any more but the race is not over."
