Leicester were relegated from the Premier League just seven years after a spectacular title triumph, as Everton prolonged their 69-year stay in the English top flight by beating Bournemouth 1-0 on Sunday.

Leeds will also return to the Championship after three seasons in the Premier League, as their relegation was confirmed by a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham.
