Leicester relegated to third tier
LEICESTER, England, April 21 : Leicester City were relegated to the third tier of English soccer on Tuesday, 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 on Wednesday. It was also a good night for Wrexham who moved back into the promotion playoff places, ahead of Hull on goal difference, after winning 1-0 at relegation-threatened Oxford United thanks to a Josh Windass goal.
