The2015–16 Premier League (known as theBarclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 24th season of thePremier League, the top English professional league forassociation football clubs, since its establishment in 1992, and the 117th season of top-flight English football overall. The season began on 8 August 2015, and was scheduled to conclude on 15 May 2016.[6] However, the match betweenManchester United andBournemouth on the final day was postponed to 17 May 2016 due to a suspicious package found atOld Trafford.[7]

Chelsea began the season as defending champions of the2014–15 season. Bournemouth,Watford andNorwich City entered as the three promoted teams from the2014–15 Football League Championship.

Leicester City, managed by ItalianClaudio Ranieri, were crowned champions for the first time in their 132-year history, with 2 games to spare, becoming the 24th club to becomeEnglish football champions, and the sixth club to win the Premier League. Many commentators consider this to be one of the greatest sporting shocks in history, especially given that Leicester spent a great deal of the previous season at the bottom of the table before rallying towards the season's end to finish 14th. At the beginning of the season, bookmakers had given Leicester City odds of 5000/1 to win the league. On 28 November 2015, Leicester strikerJamie Vardy set a new record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches with his goal againstManchester United, surpassingRuud van Nistelrooy'sPremier League record of 10 straight games with a goal, which he set in 2003.[8]Aston Villa, one of seven teams who had played in the Premier League sinceits inaugural season, were relegated from the top flight in England for the first time since 1987.

This was the last season in which the league was sponsored by Barclays; effectivethe following season onwards, it would simply be known as the Premier League, with no sponsors attached.[9]

Summary

[edit]

Leicester City were the surprise of the season. Following their late escape from relegation in the previous season many pundits had predicted that they would be relegated[10] and bookmakers gave 5,000–1 odds on them winning the title.[11] After the dismissal of managerNigel Pearson, they began the new season with ItalianClaudio Ranieri in charge. Pearson had been known for his short temper with the press, while Ranieri has a reputation for good humour.[12] The appointment was met with scepticism by pundits, including Leicester fan and former playerGary Lineker, as Ranieri had recently been sacked from his previous post as manager of theGreece national team after sufferinga humiliating defeat to theFaroe Islands in his last game in charge.[12][13]

Despite winning their opening game againstSunderland and topping the table, they dropped back following a 5–2 home defeat toArsenal in September.[14] However, aided byJamie Vardy's record feat of scoring in eleven consecutive Premier League games,[i] they then remained unbeaten – and returned to the top of the table – until 26 December, when a 1–0 defeat toLiverpool dropped them to second place. They returned to the top after a 1–1 draw withAston Villa on 16 January, and remained there for the rest of the season.[14] Following a 2–2 draw betweenChelsea andTottenham Hotspur atStamford Bridge on 2 May 2016, and having two more games to play, Leicester City were confirmed champions, their first title in the top flight of English football, eclipsing the runners-up spot they reached in 1929.[11]

Defending champions Chelsea sacked managerJosé Mourinho in December while in 16th place and eventually failed to qualify for European football for the first time in two decades.Eden Hazard, the previous season'sPFA Players' Player of the Year, did not score a league goal until late April.[16] They eventually finished 10th, breaking the record for lowest finish for a Premier League title holder – 7th, held jointly byBlackburn Rovers in1995–96 andManchester United in2013–14.[17] This record only stood for one year, as Leicester City finished 12th thefollowing season.

Arsenal, looking for their first title since 2004 and following a poor start, improved and in early January took the top spot from Leicester. However, a poor run of results, including draws with Liverpool,[18]Stoke City[19] andSouthampton,[20] and a loss to Chelsea[21] saw them drop to fourth by mid-February. They remained in contention, but draws withWest Ham United, Sunderland and Crystal Palace in April saw their title hopes vanish.[22][23][24]

Meanwhile, Arsenal's London rivals Tottenham Hotspur won six matches in a row, and when Arsenal lost to Manchester United at the end of February, Tottenham leapfrogged them into second place,[25] where they remained until the final weekend of the season. Draws withWest Bromwich Albion[26] and Chelsea—in a game now known as the ‘Battle of the Bridge’—prevented them from winning their first league title since 1961.[27] After a 2–1 home loss to Southampton and a 5–1 defeat away toNewcastle United in their final two matches, Tottenham ended the season in third place, one point behind Arsenal.[28]

West Ham United, in their final season at theBoleyn Ground after 112 years, achieved 62 points, a club record for a Premier League campaign. It was also the first Premier League season where they had finished with a positive goal difference (+14) and West Ham's eight defeats was also a club record for the fewest losses suffered in a Premier League season.

Aston Villa, a presence in the Premier League since the league's foundation in 1992 and present in the top division since the 1988–89 season, were the first team to be relegated, after a 1–0 loss at Manchester United on 16 April.[29] On 11 May, Sunderland won 3–0 againstEverton, a result which relegated both Newcastle United andNorwich City with one game remaining.[30]

All of the final fixtures of the season were scheduled for 15 May and were to kick off at the same time. However, Manchester United's home game againstBournemouth was called off afterOld Trafford was evacuated because of the discovery of a suspicious device, which was destroyed in a controlled explosion. It was confirmed to be an accidental leftover from a training exercise.[31] The match was played two days later on 17 May, with United winning 3–1.

Reactions

[edit]

The unlikely nature of Leicester's title led to a flood of coverage from across the globe. Prime MinisterDavid Cameron tweeted his congratulations, saying it was "An extraordinary, thoroughly deserved, Premier League title." Congratulations were also sent by the Italian Prime MinisterMatteo Renzi, who praised his compatriot Ranieri.[32]

Premier League chief executiveRichard Scudamore described it as "biggest story we've ever had" in English football.[33] Former Leicester managerMartin O'Neill described it as the "greatest achievement of this century".[33]Gary Lineker, the former Leicester striker who led a consortium that saved the club from administration in 2002, had said he would host the BBC football showMatch of the Day in his underwear if Leicester won the title. After they won the title, he did indeed present the show clad only in boxer shorts.[34][ii] He said: "There were no odds that I would have taken at the start of the season. No odds. You could have given me 10 million to one and I'd have said 'Nah, it's a waste of a quid'".[36]José Mourinho, manager of 2015 champions Chelsea and Ranieri's replacement at the same team eleven years earlier, sent his congratulations, saying, "I lost my title to Claudio Ranieri and it is with incredible emotion that I live this magic moment in his career."[37]Ranieri said after winning his first title at the age of 64 that he would not have appreciated it as a young man: "Now I am an old man I can feel it much better."[37][38]

The long odds bookmakers had given Leicester at the start of the season led to them incurring losses of up to £25 million, with one punter winning over £100,000, having wagered £20 at the original 5,000–1 odds;[39] the largest payout was £200,000 to an anonymous bettor who wagered £100 on the team in October when the odds had gone down to 2,000–1.[40]

Superstitious claims of phenomena helping Leicester win the league include the club's Thai owners engaging Buddhist monks to bless the players,[32] and thereburial of KingRichard III inthe city's cathedral in March 2015.[41]

Teams

[edit]

Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from theChampionship. The promoted teams wereBournemouth (playing in the top flight for the first time ever),Watford (returning to the top flight after eight years) andNorwich City (returning after a season's absence). They replacedHull City (relegated to theChampionship after a two-year spell in the top flight),Burnley andQueens Park Rangers (both teams relegated after a season's presence).
