- The 2015/16 Premier League season will surely go down as the most unpredictable and extraordinary in the competition’s history, with Leicester City going from 5,000-1 outsiders to top-flight champions for the first time.
Nobody expected such an underdog story in the summer when Claudio Ranieri replaced Nigel Pearson as manager of a Leicester team that had been on the brink of relegation before an incredible end-of-season run in 2014/15.
Ranieri's arrival and the additions of N’Golo Kante and Christian Fuchs began to shape what was to follow. They started with a 4-2 victory over Sunderland on the opening day.
There was much more expectation at reigning champions Chelsea, who had brought in Radamel Falcao and Pedro to bolster their attacking options, while goalkeeper Petr Cech left Stamford Bridge for Arsenal and Raheem Sterling joined Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City.
Man City got off to a blistering start, winning 3-0 at West Bromwich Albion in the first of five straight victories to start the campaign.
Chelsea's fortunes were a stark contrast, as defeats to Man City, Everton and Crystal Palace left Jose Mourinho’s side hovering above the relegation zone in September.
Summer signings continued to make a big impact as Anthony Martial blew Liverpool away with a solo goal in a 2-1 win on his Manchester United debut at Old Trafford and Dimitri Payet helped West Ham United to an opening-day win at Arsenal and similarly impressive away triumphs at Liverpool and Man City.
Guus Hiddink replaced him as interim manager until the end of the season, leading a steady improvement, but they were out of the title race as Leicester, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs moved clear of the rest.
Victories over Man City and Man Utd helped Arsenal to top spot at the turn of the year, despite a shock 4-0 defeat to Southampton on 26 December. Leicester suffered a 1-0 loss to Liverpool that day but galvanised their title challenge by winning at Spurs, and after the 1-1 draw at bottom club Aston Villa, under Remi Garde's management following Tim Sherwood's departure, Ranieri's men would not relinquish top spot for the rest of the season.
They strengthened their grip on first place when Vardy scored a thunderous volley in their 2-0 win over Liverpool before Mahrez inspired a 3-1 triumph at Man City.
A stoppage-time defeat to Arsenal on 14 February was the last time they were to taste defeat, while Spurs capitalised with victory at Man City on the same day.
The emergence of Dele Alli was key to Spurs' rise, signed as a teenager from Milton Keynes Dons in 2015. His goal of the season at Crystal Palace was part of a six-match winning streak for Spurs, before a midweek loss to top-four contenders West Ham and a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, allowed Leicester to build a five-point lead with nine matches left.
Southampton beat Man City and Spurs in a strong finish as they claimed a club record sixth place, behind Man Utd, while West Ham stuttered at the end of their final season at the Boleyn Ground despite a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Red Devils in their last match at the stadium. Liverpool may have finished eighth but an impressive run to the UEFA Europa League final, where they lost to Sevilla, showed plenty of promise ahead of Klopp’s first full campaign in 2016/17.
Promoted Watford and AFC Bournemouth earned safety with their highest PL finishes, while Aston Villa were cut adrift and relegated from the competition for the first time in April.
In the run-in, the battle for survival was between three teams. Norwich City went straight back down after five losses in their last six matches, while Sunderland turned to manager Sam Allardyce to lead the Black Cats, and Rafael Benitez arrived at St James’ Park to galvanise a team that had brought in England internationals Andros Townsend and Jonjo Shelvey in January.
But despite finishing with a six-match unbeaten streak, Benitez's Newcastle were relegated as Sunderland, spearheaded by 15-goal striker Jermain Defoe, lost just twice after 2 February and confirmed their escape when they beat Everton, in Roberto Martinez’s last match as manager, 3-0 in Matchweek 37.
But the season belonged to Leicester, with manager Ranieri and his players given a guard of honour as they finished the season with a draw at Chelsea, the Italian's former club and the previous champions.

My grandad and I would watch MOTD and MOTD2 together every week, every season. Every season he said on 4-5 occasions that “no one new ever wins it. It’s always the same teams. It’s always Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal or Liverpool at the top”. He died of cancer July 2015. The following season in 2015/2016, Leicester City won the Premier League. I wish my grandad could have been around for just one more year to see how special that season was.
Sorry for your lost mate
@@warh1story563 thank you mate. To be honest, my grandad would love this current season too. It’s been insane so far and anyone could win it
So sorry for you. Your grandad was just unlucky
@@benjaminmee3751 Not anymore, Man City now consolidate themselves at the top of the league table
@@JoaquinCampana1998 Yep but three-four months ago, it was anyone’s to have.
“Leicester city tipped to be relegated” incredible story
@Yung Lsg wasnt it 5000-1 at beginning
The rest is history
It's true tho
Unbelievable
man city were destined to win league 2015/16 and leicester city shone like stars and as a man city fan i congratulate them x
2015/16 is one of the best Premier League season since its inception. Surely the most astonishing season till now.
Why am I getting this recommended now lol
Stfu
@@ciaran1968 swear I've met u somewhere before
RONAN BARRETT dad?
@@ciaran1968 sister?
Innit
This was the greatest Cinderella story in football's history.
Stuff up you mug this not Disney
All the top teams were so inconsistent the entire season. My Goodness. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity for any other team to win the title, and Leicester took full advantage of the opportunity. To be honest, I enjoyed to watch that season so much. The scorelines were insane every week.
This seasons looking pretty crazy!
That's because there's no good defenders in the league. Not one. That season had been coming for years; since the insistence of "playing out from the back". It's the only reason Liverpool and Man City have gotten 90+ points the last two years. Why else are Liverpool able to score 7 one week, then concede 7 the next?
LCFC will be winning at least on trophy this year, and top four.
@@IamFrozenUnderpants I agree. Dias, Stones, Laporte, Alderweireld, Thiago Silva, Azpilicueta, Robertson, Shaw, Chilwell, Alexander-Arnold, Wan-Bissaka, Walker, Cancelo, Tierney, Reguilon, Pereira, Digne, Lindelof, and Zouma are all shit.
@@Beastgrowsthey won the FA cup but they bottled out top 4
The strangest season ever. Leicester won the title, Southampton were in the top 6 two years running, West Ham were qualifying for Europe and Crystal Palace nearly won the FA Cup. Absolutely incredible.
Nah i prefer this year
@@microwave9668 even this season is pretty mental
@@sfztrsf4776 yes liverpool are not even in the top 5 after destroying the prem last season and this ESL thing

Jim proudfoot is the worst. I can't stand his voice crack
Yea
One of the best seasons in recent years
Hüseyin Ugan I’d agree but it was mainly because of the Leicester story I think the Man City last minute winner season as a whole was better personally
@@adam01101 no dude man city was better than Leicester City Was In Relegation Zone the past season man city had huge players like yaya Toure, Tevez, Dzeko etc money to back them up, but this was a miracle team Leicester did the unthinkable.....
@Hüseyin Ugan nah that was 11/12, even 13/14 was better than this too
Try ever
People forget that Southampton were also in the top six that season
Van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Luke Shaw, Dusan Tadic in that team.

RIP VICHAI
From USA. This was the first season I watched football. So glad I found this beautiful game
32:11 commentator calls spurs “the glory glory club” never laughed so hard in my life 😂
@Muhamed Halilovic nowhere to be seen after that
Muhamed Halilovic since you last won the league, Arsenal have won 2 at your ground just let that sink in. Just to slam it home further. Peter schmeical was born , grew up, won the league, had a son, who also grew up and won the league. This all happened since spurs last won the league title 🤣
@Muhamed Halilovic Football has also existed 59 years after 1961 literally the only two accolades you achieved before us ever since you've been chasing our shadow never beating our achievements and still claiming you run north London?! Have a reality check mate and go crawl back in our shadow

The one and only time I’ve rooted for and enjoyed the journey of another club, and I don’t think Leicesters achievement gets enough respect. People always say the big teams were so bad that season etc. Leicester won the pl ffs we will never see nothing like it ever again in English premier league football.

Even as an Arsenal fan (which meant this season was REALLY frustrating seeing how every other top side struggled and we couldn't capitalize), this was without a doubt my favourite PL season of the last decade. Watching Leicester win was incredible. Plus the final day of us finishing above Spurs helped :)
What really annoyed me was how stubborn Wenger was.....
Could he not see all we needed was one world class striker and a back up for coquelin, then we would've won the League
@@icandothisallday986 I don't even know if we really lacked a WC striker, but we should've for sure signed another midfielder. I'm of the opinion that Santi was our best and most important player during that era, and when he got injured, we really fell off. And with no one there to really back him up there, we suffered (Wilshere was injured for like the entire season I think, so the only one could've offered some of what Santi did, was gone.) I love Ramsey, but he wasn't really a good deputy for Santi. Maybe we could've won the league with an upgrade on Giroud, but he was really good, and if you look at his numbers with goals and xG and stuff, he really was a top tier striker in the prem.
Jhgfj Gd işte bu akşam saat oldu
I'm a Man UTD fan, and in the 2015-16 season, I enjoyed to watch Leicester's games more than our own
Lukas Hillbrandt same man. I’m also a Man Utd fan and we were really disappointing to watch that season
Lol fake fan
Lol fake fan
Abdullah Abdilaahi fake fan
Lee Yvonne how am I a fake fan?
That intro triggered so many memories I didn't even know I had
I'm a Chelsea fan but I think this is one of the best seasons ever, entertainment at it's finest.

People forget how good Mahrez was that season
Player of the season that year no doubt
Specially that match v Man city
Nah people forget that that was the season that brought about Kante. He barely gets a mention in any of these.
@@Alex-fl8cm so true as well, he carried leicester's backline and sometimes attackers to victory
4 years on and it still feels unreal. Almost as unreal as the times we currently are living in.
Hadi bakalım ne kadar 443
To be honest this season is where the premier league peaked as an sport entertainment show plus all the big teams got humbled by a small leicter city truly one of most special football season in Europe.
Yeah Chelsea from title winners to having a complete meltdown.
Liverpool we got rid of Rodgers and had klopp start
United and city were battling for 4th
Tottenham who aren’t a big club we’re in a title race and bottled it
Arsenal somehow finished 2nd
it was an embarrassment that the top 6 who have much better players and are richer just let a small club win it

What a amazing premier league season that was for Leicester city
What a season for leicester. Literally one of the most emotional year of my life.
Huff KGF Urfa'da
"Leicester's number 9, beats 10 and scores 11 in a row." Peter Drury. The Poet. Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Morgan, Fuchs, Okazaki, Ouchua, Morgan, Simpson, Kasper, Danny, became legends of the PL that season. And of course, their gladiator in chief - Claudio Ranieri. What a season. Captivating.
PROUD of the mighty foxes. 5000-1
cant find odds like that now, leicester rewrote the books.
Leicster are not good
Leicester decision to sack Nigel Pearson was mad but man did it pay of.
39:12 not even a Leicester fan but goosebumps
I only Started following Football mid-way through this season so I Thought Leicester winning the League was normal
I’m a Leicester fan n still to this day it seems like dream 😅 get goosebumps every time
Why do people think this was ages ago I remember this like it was yesterday
most of them didn't watch epl at that time
I just started watching EPL that season
even without leicesters story from this season this is still one of the most exciting and unpredictable seasons of all time. what an amazing year this was
Feels weird seeing Arteta playing instead of managing
Peter Drury: Leicester! It's got to happen! Who's catching them now?!?!
Still gives me goosebumps!
Same
Goosebumps watching this 6 years later, this will never happen again
Most entertaining season ever
Fast forward to 2023, Leicester and Southampton have both gone from top 6 to championship football
That Intro is amazing
The last part of the narration gives me goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥
[6:18] “A week of medical issues has ended with a nasty headache.” That one had me cracking up! 🤣🤣🤣
I want the full version of this... next level editing by the premier league 🙌 you feel every moment
Leicester winning the title is one of the greatest achievements in the history of football
looking back makes you realise how much better football was back then, only 5 years ago but so much has changed no passion in the game anymore
var has ruined it
Amazing video 🔥🔥🔥
Most entertaining season in the premier league, we had nearly four contenders for the top spot by January.
Why can't I find the 14/15 season review
Love how BT make literally no mention of any team other then the big 6 and Leicester almost as if they don’t exist
Ikr I'm 20 minutes in and not even a single mention of any Norwich game
Andrew Nicoll they do in an extended version of the review which is about 1 hour 40 mins
@@tombardsley3081 Do you have a link on the extended version? Pretty interesting, 1 hour 40 mins
Najmi Zahir Handalan sadly not a TH-cam one. I got it from ITunes
5th at Christmas and think I saw the Joel Ward header - and even that was for Chelsea narrative!
What a season for leicester and west ham
This premier league was so competitive Leicester won with just 81 points if you get 81 points now you might get 3rd.
Only lost 3 though, and 2 of those were against Arsenal.
Man Utd won it with 75 points in 1997.
this is
why i fell in love with this game
As a Villa fan this was an awful season for us. But huge credit to Leicester, they were incredible

Aston villa went down :( but now we're back thank God
The intro 😎
The normal one arrived. Start of Klopp and incredible story from Leicester
Unbelievable story!
Jurgen Klopp is Liverpool signing of the decade
Why was there no recognition for West ham?

[12:31] That reaction from Mourinho is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

Hey
36:44 wtf just happened there
2014/15 season review and the preceding season's review.I would appreciate if you posted those
proud leicester lad and super fan
Slaven Bilic and Payet were the biggest boon to West Ham that season.....They made the team with players like Zarate, Noble, Caroll, Lanzini, Noble, Cresswell, Kouyate,Obiang, Adrian, Reid, Collins look like a top 6 team.
Wish I watched that season live
fun fact: From 2013 to 2015 every Everton v Chelsea match at Goodison Park contained goals from Steven Naismith -
13-14 season: He scored the winner in a 1-0 win for the toffees
14-15 : He scored one of the consolation goals in a 6-3 defeat at the end of August
15-16 : He completes a hat-trick to seal a 3-1 win and pilling more misery to the horrendus season that Jose Mourinho had
I hated that season as a Chelsea fan but on the other hand I loved it cause we saw one of the greatest sporting underdog stories of all time
A massive example of ‘the footballing Gods’ nobody can explain how Leicester won the league.
Leicester City Expectations: Safety
Leicester City Result: Champions
Chelsea Expectations: Champions
Chelsea Result: Mid Table

The kits from this season were pretty damn good
Thanks BT sport for not showing one Watford game in this. Lol.
Could've shown the 3-0 v Liverpool
Showed 1-0 vs swansea

Vardy and mahrez were incredible during this time
Ooh that shocking none pen at old Trafford....was about 5 yards inside box and fat moss gave a free kick, stoppage time too.....would have been interesting end to the season

The 15/16 was the most important season in perm history
from Liverpool appointment of klop and Chelsea losing game after game . Also the start of the rivalry between klop and pep
It's 15/16 actually
This season was the furthest distance travelled between games by all the teams. Almost a third more than the next season
@@ein-moriaston2427 the donkey had to go round the corner
I've watched this too many times to count and it hurts even more I watch because I'm a spurs fan
In Jose we trust.
Anyone know the music that plays when the league table gets shown at the end of each month? Sounds chilled but with electric guitar vibes.
Darude- Sandstorm
The iconic Klopp arrival
The unforgettable Leicester run
Nice
Last three years haven't been nearly as competitive. Runaway City, then a two-horse race, then runaway Liverpool.
Then another runaway City, and now City are running away again 😔
Leaderboard music?
