The second team officially relegated from the Premier League

Leicester needed to beat Liverpool in the 33rd round of the Premier League to continue the relegation race. But they failed to do so when they lost to Liverpool with a score of 0-1. Leicester fought back strongly, but clearly they were not capable of stopping the leader Liverpool.

After 28 attacks with 10 shots on target, Liverpool's 1-0 win was probably modest compared to the number of chances they created. And the above statistics also show Leicester's weakness in this match, this season.

This is the second season in the last three that the Foxes have been relegated. They were in a life-or-death struggle from the start of the campaign. The club failed to win any of their first six games and sacked manager Steve Cooper. Leicester were in 16th place at the time.

Leicester only got worse under Ruud van Nistelrooy

Leicester turned to former Manchester United assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy. But instead of bringing the club to safety, Van Nistelrooy only made things worse. From 18th place, Leicester fell to 19th place.

Leicester went into the match against Liverpool haunted. They were the first team in the top four divisions of England to lose eight consecutive home games without scoring a goal. After the recent defeat, the Foxes have lost nine home games in total. This detail proves that Leicester's relegation with five rounds early is completely correct because they played so poorly.

With a former striker as excellent as Van Nistelrooy, he clearly has a big responsibility when his students failed to score in 9 consecutive home matches. The pressure to fire Van Nistelrooy has also increased after the recent defeat. However, when talking about the future, the 49-year-old former striker is still optimistic: "I am waiting for clarity from the club and how they want to continue to be involved. My goal is to stay and lead the club."

"We have to use this time to get better. Leicester will continue to go up and my job is to take the club to the highest position possible."
