Leicester’s fairy tale run is over, gets relegated despite 2-1 victory over West Ham
Seven years after the most improbable Premier League title triumph of all, Leicester was relegated from English soccer’s top division on Sunday while Everton pulled off another last-day escape to extend its 69-year stay.
By winning the title as a 5,000-1 long-shot in 2016, it provided the Premier League with its greatest fairy tale – being crowned champion in only its second season after being promoted from the second tier “The Premier League is where everybody wants to be playing,” Smith said afterward. “It feels raw now, it hurts and everybody will be devastated. But with the infrastructure it’s got it will bounce back.”
“There have been plenty [of clubs] over time where you’ve had knocks and your job is to bounce back and make sure you improve on the things that have let you down and I’ve no doubts the club will.”
