LONDON (AP) - Leicester secured automatic promotion back into the English Premier League on Friday after Leeds lost to Queens Park Rangers.

Leicester's return was sealed when second-placed Leeds - four points behind Leicester - was thumped at QPR 4-0.

The Foxes achieved promotion at the first time of asking after being relegated from the Premier League last season following a third-to-last finish.

Leicester leads the second-tier Championship with two games left.

Leeds was only one point above third-placed Ipswich, which has two games in hand.
