Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League on Sunday, confirming what has long looked like an inevitability amid a miserable campaign.
The Foxes’ 1-0 loss to Liverpool officially sent them straight back down to the Championship after only one season.
Leicester, authors of a miraculous title triumph less than a decade ago, dug themselves an early hole this season and never recovered. They won the second-tier Championship last year to earn automatic promotion back to the top flight, but problems began to emerge almost immediately from there.
