Leicester City have been relegated to EFL League One, the third tier of English football, after a 2-2 draw with Hull City on Tuesday night. The result left the Foxes seven points behind the safety line with only two matches remaining in the Championship season. Jordan James and Luke Thomas scored for Leicester, while Liam Millar and Ryan Giles scored for Hull. The relegation marks a steep fall for the club that stunned the football world by winning the Premier League title in 2015/16 and later claimed the FA Cup in 2020/21. Leicester had already been relegated from the Premier League last season and have now dropped another level just one year later. In contrast, Coventry City secured the Championship title with a 5-1 victory over Portsmouth. Frank Lampard's team had already earned promotion to the Premier League last week and sealed the league crown with this win. Goals came from Haji Wright, Ephron Mason-Clark, who scored twice, Regan Poole via an own goal, and Kaine Kesler-Hayden. Adrian Segecic scored Portsmouth's only goal. Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka played for Coventry in the match.
