Eden Hazard insists Leicester City deserve to be Premier League champions after he scored the goal which handed the Foxes the title tonight.

Chelsea, who knew a draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge would hand Leicester the title, fell 2-0 behind in the first half when Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son scored with superb efforts.




But Gary Cahill gave Chelsea a lifeline in the 58th minute, before a fired up Hazard drew the Blues level with seven minutes to play. 

It was a fiesty encounter with yellow cards flashed and a scrum at the final whistle as players from both sides argued.
 


It ended 2-2, meaning Leicester are now champions and Hazard is delighted for the Foxes.

"It's always good to score in front of our fans. This game was very important for Chelsea", Hazard said on Sky Sports.

"We deserved the draw. I don't care who are champions.

"Leicester deserve to be champions. It's good for the Premier League", the Belgian added.

Leicester now succeed Chelsea as Premier League champions, defying the odds which saw them tipped to be fighting against relegation at the start of the campaign.

Spurs meanwhile will now look to ensure Arsenal do not overhaul them in second in the table.
