Leicester City forward Stephy Mavididi has continued to poke fun at Leeds United after his side were declared Championship champions earlier this week.

Following the Foxes 3-0 win at Deepdale on Monday, Enzo Maresca's men ensured an immediate return to the Premier League, with their celebrations aplenty following the full-time whistle.

Leeds now look likely to have been condemned to the play-offs after a disappointing end to the season, with Ipswich Town's victory against Coventry City meaning the Tractor Boys now need just a point from their final league outing against Huddersfield Town this weekend.

After the Whites beat Leicester 3-1 at Elland Road earlier this season, forward Georginio Rutter amplified how he felt Leeds were "the best team" and that comment seemingly irked Mavididi across the campaign.

Taking to social media following City's promotion, Mavididi posted a video of him brushing his teeth whilst Rutter's interview with Sky Sports played in the background, poking fun at the forward in the process.

It appears the former Montpelier man didn't even need any words to get his message across, with his 13 goals and six assists helping Leicester regain their top-flight status in the process.

For Leeds, their own fate is set to be decided elsewhere. Huddersfield Town must do them a huge favour in beating Ipswich and hope they can beat Southampton this weekend, with their still plenty to play for heading into Saturday's exciting Championship climax.
