Some Leicester City fans were left unhappy despite the team’s promotion back to the Premier League.

On Friday night, the Foxes’ passage back to the top flight was confirmed after receiving some help from Queens Park Rangers.

Third-placed Leeds United knew they had to win at Loftus Road if they are to prevent Leicester from starting their party early.

However, they produced a dismal display as goals from Ilias Chair, Lucas Andersen, Lyndon Dykes and Sam Field sealed a 4-0 victory for QPR.

As a result, Leeds are no longer able to catch Leicester, meaning their promotion was confirmed.

Daniel Farke’s men now have to rely on Ipswich Town faltering if they are to secure automatic promotion.

However, despite returning to the Premier League, some Leicester fans were not overly happy.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Sorry but its s*** getting promoted this way. That’s 2013/2014 promotion, 2015/2016 league win and now looking like this season while not at a game. Bulls***.”

Another tweeted: “That’s what I’ve said mate, the magic of winning the Prem wasn’t as great for me as I wasn’t watching us physically winning it by kicking a ball…. I’d rather watch us play Monday and celebrate at full time in our own game… I’m glad someone else has agreed with me.”

A third fan said: “It is s***. But do you trust this lot to do the business on Monday!?”

Someone else wrote: “The way this seasons gone we just need to get up anyway possible.”

Speaking after Leeds’ defeat by QPR, Farke said: “Congratulations to QPR for a well-deserved win and Leicester for promotion. Important to speak about this.

“In this game the first 20 minutes was decisive, We didn't do the basics. QPR used it in an effective way to be 2-0 up. Then we woke up, but a side fighting for relegation in their home stadium will always be difficult to play.”
