Leicester have been relegated to the Championship, ending their nine-year stay in the Premier League.
They defeated West Ham 2-1 on the final day but Everton’s narrow win meant that the former Premier League winners will play in the second tier next year.
The Foxes began the season with six defeats from their opening seven games, and despite four wins from five before the World Cup break, were unable to keep themselves away from danger.
A run of eight losses in nine outings between February and April cost former boss Brendan Rodgers his job, with Dean Smith failing to help the East Midlanders beat the drop.
Leicester’s time in the English top flight will undoubtedly be remembered for their miraculous Premier League victory in 2015-16 and further success followed when winning the FA Cup in 2020-21.
