Leicester cruised to a 3-1 win over Everton at a buoyant King Power Stadium on Saturday Night Football. It was the perfect way to celebrate their extraordinary Premier League title triumph, writes Nick Wright… After Leicesters wild celebrations on Monday night, it was easy to imagine they might take their feet off the gas for the visit of Everton. But on a joyous and historic day in the East Midlands, the newly crowned Premier League champions produced an exhilarating performance to match the carnival atmosphere in the stands.The party had been in full swing for days as the gravity of Leicesters extraordinary achievement began to sink in around the city, and the streets surrounding the King Power Stadium were a sea of celebration in the build-up to kick-off against Everton. Wes Morgan and Claudio Ranieri lift the trophy amid ecstatic scenes at the King Power stadium A rousing performance from opera singer Andrea Bocelli and an emotional speech from manager Claudio Ranieri brought a touch of class to the occasion, and then it was over to Leicesters unlikely band of heroes to continue the party on the pitch.They certainly seemed to enjoy themselves, with Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy at the heart of their thrilling attacking play, just as they have been for so much of this remarkable season. The stadium was a cauldron of noise from kick-off, and there was more reason to celebrate when they broke the deadlock six minutes in. Vardy stars in title party Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester celebrated winning the Premier League in fine style. Mahrezs throw-in found Andy King on Leicesters right-hand side, and the midfielder chipped a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Jamie Vardy. The striker exploited the space between John Stones and Bryan Oviedo, and his first-time finish was typically clinical. After missing the last two games through suspension, the FWA Footballer of the Year was making up for lost time.Former Leicester striker Alan Smith would later describe it as the ultimate team performance in the Sky Sports commentary box, and their second goal came less than 30 minutes after their first. Shinji Okazaki found Mahrez, whose trickery bewitched his markers before Leighton Baines tackle inadvertently set up King to dispatch the finish. Ranieri reflects on Leicesters amazing season and says he wants the fans to keep dreaming Its like watching a team on fast forward, noted Jamie Carragher, and there was much more to come as they continued to pour forward after the break. Vardy got his second when he won and converted a penalty in the 65th minute, and the only minor hiccup came when he missed another chance from the spot to wrap up his hat-trick.Vardys double still puts him within one goal of Premier League top scorer Harry Kane on 24, and it was fitting, too, that King played such a pivotal role in the result. The long-serving Welshman is the only surviving member of the side that won promotion from League One in 2008/09, and seven years on from starting in a 3-0 win over Crewe Alexandra, he starred as they brought up 80 points in the Premier League.The 27-year-old is a symbol of Leicesters extraordinary rise, and his goal and assist earned him a well-deserved man-of-the-match award. Andy King was the most important player in the first half, said Jamie Redknapp in the Sky Sports studio. He just sums them up. Morgan admits he felt drained and emoptional after lifting the Premier League trophy Leicesters success, though, is a triumph of the team over the individual, and the philosophy was typified by the all-encompassing celebrations that greeted the final whistle. They have been as one all season, said Redknapp. From Schmeichel to Vardy, every single player has been immense. Its the stuff of dreams.In many ways, this was the typical Leicester performance. The Foxes had less possession (41.6 per cent to Evertons 58.4 per cent) and attempted fewer passes (337 to Evertons 499) than their opponent, and yet they dominated the metrics that mattered.

Roberto Martinezs side were left dazed and confused, and in truth, they were flattered by the 3-1 scoreline.Carragher described it as the perfect finale, and it certainly felt like a fitting way to celebrate the greatest day in their 132-year history. Teams like Leicester are not meant to have these moments, said Carragher. This is what makes it fantastic. This now gives hope to every player and team out there up and down the league.

I think weve got a team that is focused on that and we believe we can do some special things in this tournament.Australia became the first team to start 2-0 here by pulling away to beat Serbia 95-80 on Monday. Patty Mills scored 26 points and Matthew Dellavedova had 23 points and 13 assists for the Australians, who have opened the Olympics by beating France and Serbia, two of the top-six teams in the world.The Aussies play the top-ranked Americans on Wednesday.We havent done anything we didnt expect to do. These are the goals we set, center Andrew Bogut said.Were not happy being 2-0. We want to continue on and go to the medal rounds.The Australians have a team built to do it. They have big bodies inside with Bogut and Aron Baynes, plenty of playmaking with Mills and Dellavedova, and something more that cant be measured on a stat sheet.I think the belief within our group is something that I dont know if weve ever had before, Mills said.The U.S. blew Australia out in the quarterfinals of the last two Olympics, part of a disappointing recent history for a team that finished fourth in consecutive Olympics in 1996 and 2000. Thee Australians have never won an Olympic medal in mens basketball, part of the reason they werent looked at as a top contender here.ddddddddddddWe havent done (anything) the last 20 or 30 years of basketball and we still havent done anything, so we got a lot to do, Bogut said. But the guys who write stories about that, predictions and all that, God bless them because its a tough job at times. But were really not buying in to that too much.Australia felt it had the potential for its best team ever this year, even with No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons opting not to play and Dante Exum, Ingles teammate with the Utah Jazz, unable to make it back from a torn knee ligament.The Aussies still have an experienced team, with Mills, Bogut, Dellavedova and Baynes all winning NBA championships.So they obviously know how to play at this level, Serbia coach Sasha Djordjevic said.Now the Aussies want more.We set a goal to win a gold medal and thats what were here to do, Ingles said. We obviously know how hard that is, its obviously not an easy task. Weve been preparing for this for a long time, but we believe we have a team that can do something special.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney ' ' '
