Key players who inspired Leicester to the Championship title.

Leicester secured the Sky Bet Championship title after a 3-0 win at Preston on Monday night.

Enzo Maresca’s side have enjoyed a brilliant campaign – even if they threatened to mess it up on the run-in before finally securing automatic promotion to the Premier League with two games to play. There are others.

Here, the PA News Agency charts five key players in its monumental campaign.

Abdul Fatawi

The Ghanaian winger has made a big impact during his loan spell at Sporting Lisbon. He has scored seven goals from the wing – including a hat-trick in a 5-0 rout of Southampton – and provided 13 assists.

Kiernan Dewsbury Hall

Jenk Westergaard

Westergaard has been the rock of a Leicester defense that has been so solid for the most part. The Foxes have conceded less than a goal in a game all season and the grit and class of the Denmark internationals has been a key reason.

Steffi Mavididi

Mavididi’s form in the first half of the season was a major reason why Leicester looked like they were going to run away from the league. That faded after January, but 13 goals and six assists still represents an impressive return.

Mads Hermanson

Leicester have a tradition of Danish goalkeepers and Hermansson lives up to the billing. The 23-year-old has kept 14 clean sheets along the way, reliable with his hands and feet.
