Leicester City FC have suffered relegation to League One, marking a dramatic fall just a decade after their historic Premier League title win.
The drop was confirmed after a tense draw with Hull City AFC at the King Power Stadium, sealing back-to-back relegations for the Foxes.
The East Midlands club, which now includes Ghana internationals Jordan Ayew and Fatawu Issahaku, completes a painful full-circle moment.
Their famous 5,000-1 Premier League triumph in 2016 came only seven years after their previous spell in League One making this latest even more difficult to take.
Needing a win to keep their survival hopes alive, Leicester began nervously and were punished early.
A poor pass from Asmir Begovic gifted possession to Liam Millar, who finished calmly to give Hull the lead and silence the home crowd.
Leicester improved after the break, with Jordan James equalising from the penalty spot after Issahaku was fouled by Lewis Koumas.
Momentum swung further in their favour when Luke Thomas fired in a close-range volley, sparking renewed belief among supporters.
But their hopes were dashed when Oli McBurnie struck to level for Hull. Late drama followed, with Patson Daka hitting the crossbar, Aaron Ramsey missing two chances, and Thomas seeing a stoppage-time effort blocked by Semi Ajayi.
The final whistle confirmed Leicester’s relegation, completing a sobering decline from Premier League champions to third-tier football, despite the efforts of players like Ayew and Issahaku
