Rebekah Vardy and family have been celebrating husband Jamie and his team Leicester City FC winning the Championship title and promoted back to the Premier League. The TV personality, 42, took to Instagram with a slew of snaps following last week's game which saw Preston North End lose 3-0.

Leicester have marked their Championship success with an open-top bus parade through the city. After suffering relegation from the Premier League on the final day of last season, the club appointed former Parma boss Enzo Maresca as they looked to bounce back at the first time of asking. The Foxes stormed to an incredible start in the second tier, suffering just three defeats before Christmas which included a run of nine-consecutive victories between September and October.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Even the sweetest champagne can cause a painful hangover and despite regaining their Premier League status, Leicester City may all too soon experience the morning after the night before. A season that could end with 100 points and the Championship title is cause for much celebration, but the problem is that the euphoria may not last too long.

Their immediate return to the top flight was confirmed on Friday night when QPR smashed promotion challengers Leeds United 4-0. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall filmed a video from Maresca's house as the squad jubilated in their newfound Premier League status. It was reminiscent of when Jamie Vardy hosted a kitchen party as the Foxes watched Chelsea hold Tottenham to a 2-2 draw in May 2016, securing Leicester's historic title.

Leicester beat Birmingham 3-0 in the FA Cup fifth round thanks to Jamie Vardy's eighth goal of the season. Vardy broke the deadlock with a header from Marc Albrighton's spectacular cross just 47 minutes before Yunus Akgun's thunderbolt on 72 minutes sealed Leicester's place in the fifth round. Dennis Praet, a midfielder for Birmingham, scored a third goal with a cool finish after 88 minutes, leaving Birmingham with a string of missed opportunities in the first half as the Blues lost for the first time under new manager Tony Mowbray.

Leicester won their second game in a row under new manager Enzo Maresca, Kelechi Iheanacho showed off his Premier League pedigree as Leicester notched up their second victory in two games under new manager Enzo Maresca. The Foxes' journey at the Pirelli Stadium was much more relaxed than those who were made to sweat over their Championship opener against Coventry, as Maresca made seven shifts and watched his side saunter past League One Burton Albion. Leicester was in cruise control from the sixth minute after Dennis Praet and Marc Albrighton joined up for the former to kick out Iheanacho in the six-yard box. To back-heel the visitors into the lead, the unmarked Nigeria striker drew upon the experience of a man with 42 top-flight goals to his name.

With a 2-0 loss at mid-table Hull, West Brom's Sky Bet Championship play-off hopes saw a significant boost. After 33 minutes, Benjamin Tetteh's instinctive attack against the run of play put the hosts in front, while Dara O'Shea's own goal in the second half culminated the Baggies' road suffrages. West Brom have won only once away from home this year, and they can't believe it went wrong at MKM Stadium after a good start.

There were more pressing issues than worrying about whether Kevin McDonald would ever play professional football again when he left Fulham under lockout in the summer of 2020. His kidneys were failing and he was in dire need of a transplant, which was a ten-month delay thanks to a donation from his brother Fraser. McDonald scored his first goal in five years on Saturday when playing for Exeter in League One. It's a truly touching tale of recovery and triumph, as well as a slew of emotions for the 34-year-old midfielder just over a week after the birth of his second daughter.

And breathe. The January transfer window is over, and managers now know exactly what they're doing for the remainder of the season. The mid-season window can be a little anti-climatic, with clubs choosing to stick with what they've got rather than risking any disruptions to their squad for the second half of the season. This wasn't the case this time, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham all doing major business on deadline day. But did they spend their money wisely?Which sides look well-placed to finish the campaign strongly, and who has left themselves short? Sportsmail has taken a look at the operations of all 20 Premier League clubs and rated them from A-F on how they did in January.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Leicester City's ability to make a success of the next one comes as a result of a knife edge. Leicester would stay up and become the envy of all clubs outside of the Premier League's financial elite in the ideal scenario. Brighton is now the club with a brilliant coach in Roberto De Zerbi and a talented squad of young players whose transfer value is on the rise.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT KING POWER STADIUM: Brendan Rodgers is still looking for his first league victory since November after being stranded by Leicester's late leveller. Just as the Foxes appeared to be easing three points, they were pushed three minutes behind schedule. After Danny Welbeck was denied what seemed to be a clear penalty, Pascal Gross was able to shoot from six yards, it was no less than Brighton deserved. Kaoru Mitoma's brilliant first-half goal to put Brighton up, but Leicester remained relentless against in-form opposition and levelled in the 38th minute through Marc Albrighton, who had only replaced injured Dennis Praet three minutes before. In the second, then Albrighton had a hand in the second as his corner was flicked to Harvey Barnes at the far post, who drilled it home. However, Brighton's coercion eventually told when Ferguson, a replacement, had three minutes remaining.
