Leicester Royal Infirmary has asked people who do not need emergency care to call for healthcare advice instead following the influx of people arriving.

On Twitter the hospital wrote that it was “feeling the effect” of the team’s celebrations after the Foxes beat Everton at home 3-1 on Sunday morning, Adelaide time.

The hospital said it had seen twice as many patients on Saturday night and Sunday morning than it normally would, with many suffering alcohol-related injuries.

Following the match, thousands of fans took to the streets of the city to celebrate.

@Leic_hospital is feeling the effect of the @LCFC game yesterday. If you don't need to come to A&E please don't. Call NHS111 for advice/care

Leicester City celebrated their gloriously unlikely Premier League triumph in a fitting manner in front of their overjoyed, partying fans at the King Power Stadium. Jamie Vardy, with a double, and Andy King scored the goals that left the home supporters in raptures even before they could savour the almost unthinkable sight of captain Wes Morgan and manager Claudio Ranieri lifting the trophy after the final whistle.

There were more celebrations at the Stadium of Light where Jermain Defoe was again the toast of Sunderland after his winner in a 3-2 victory over Chelsea lifted them out of the relegation zone, leaving Newcastle United and Norwich City on the verge of the drop.

Defoe scored his 15th league goal of the season to lead a stunning comeback victory against Chelsea who had captain John Terry sent off in added time for a second bookable offence.

With Norwich losing 1-0 at home to Manchester United and Newcastle only able to draw 0-0 at doomed Aston Villa, the victory means Sunderland, with two games remaining, will be safe if they beat Everton on Wednesday.

Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle, a point behind northeast neighbours Sunderland in 18th place having played a game more, would then be relegated along with Norwich who are second from bottom.

After the nerve-shredding drama at the other end of the table, Leicester were able to relax in the day’s late game and revel in the triumph that has been making headlines all over the world.

Free pizzas and beer for the fans and a stirring rendition of Nessun Dorma by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli in a Leicester shirt was the order of a surreal day before the Foxes showed no ill-effects from their week’s heady celebrations since being crowned champions on Monday.

Leicester’s victory gave them a 10-point lead at the top of the table with the champions having one game to go, at Ranieri’s former club Chelsea next weekend.
