FOOTBALL – LEICESTER City were relegated to the third tier of English football yesterday, a decade on from their astonishing run to the Premier League title, while Coventry City made sure they will go up to the top flight as champions.
Relegated to the second-tier Championship last season, the Foxes suffered a humiliating second successive drop after drawing 2-2 at home to promotion-chasing Hull City at a King Power Stadium with plenty of empty seats.
Their promotion already in the bag, Frank Lampard’s Coventry thrashed Portsmouth 5-1 to go an unassailable 10 points clear at the top with two games to spare.
Millwall went second after winning 3-1 at Stoke City and are now three points clear of Ipswich Town, who have two games in hand and play at Charlton Athletic today.
