LEICESTER, England, April 21 : Leicester City were relegated to the third tier of English soccer on Tuesday, a decade after 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 second successive drop after drawing 2-2 at home to promotion-chasing Hull City at a far from full King Power Stadium.
With promotion already in the bag, Frank Lampard's Coventry thrashed Portsmouth 5-1 to go an unassailable 10 points clear at the top.
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.
