Leicester needed a victory to keep alive their slim hopes of survival, but were instead condemned to the third tier following a tense and emotional encounter.

Hull struck first through Liam Millar in the 18th minute, before Leicester responded after the break with a James Justin penalty to level the score.

Luke Thomas then put the Foxes ahead just two minutes later, briefly sparking hopes of a great escape.

However, those hopes were crushed when Oli McBurnie equalised in the 63rd minute, ensuring Leicester’s relegation became mathematically unavoidable.

The result leaves Leicester second-bottom, seven points from safety with only two matches remaining in the season.

It marks a historic low for the club, who won the Premier League in 2016 in one of football’s greatest fairytale triumphs.

Their decline has been rapid, with multiple relegations in recent seasons and ongoing instability both on and off the pitch.

The club’s struggles have been compounded by financial pressures, managerial changes, and inconsistent recruitment decisions.

Following the departure of key figures from the title-winning era, Leicester have struggled to rebuild a stable squad capable of sustaining top-flight performance.
