Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League despite a 2-1 victory over West Ham United as Everton beat Bournemouth 1-0 to stay up on the final day of the season on Sunday.
Leicester, who were promoted to the top flight in 2014 and won the title against all the odds in 2016, finished in 18th position on 34 points, two behind Everton, and were relegated along with already doomed Southampton and Leeds United.
“Hard to take. We knew it would be a tough ask, we knew we had to win our game and hope something went for us. It didn’t,” Leicester captain Jonny Evans, who missed a long period of the season through injury, told Sky Sports.
