Leicester’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed despite a 2-1 victory over West Ham. The Foxes went into their match at the King Power needing a favour from Bournemouth, who travelled to face an Everton side that knew they would stay up should they secure victory over the Cherries.
At half-time on the final day of the Premier League season, Leicester were on course to survive after Harvey Barnes gave them the lead, while Everton were being held to a goalless draw at Goodison Park.
That changed after the break though, as Abdoulaye Doucoure fired Everton in front, and it meant Wout Faes’ header to double Leicester’s advantage meant very little, and Pablo Fornals’ finish to pull one back even less, as the Foxes dropped into the second tier after nine years in the top-flight, and seven years on from their stunning Premier League title success.
