The number of Leicester City fans attending local hospital emergency departments have doubled as they celebrate the side's historic English Premier League title win.

On social media the Leicester Royal Infirmary has said it's "feeling the effect" of the team's celebrations after the Foxes beat Everton at home 3-1 at the weekend.

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.
