The Foxes are seven points ahead of Tottenham with just two games to making them 2016 champions.

The first father and son to win the Premier League are Arsenal forward Ian Wright-who won in 1998- and former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips-who won in 2006.

Proud of his boy’s achievement,  Peter has changed his Twitter bio to read 'Father to a Premier League winner.'
