Seven years after the most improbable Premier League title triumph of all, Leicester was relegated from English football's top division to the second-tier EFL championship as Everton survived a scare after beating Bournemoth 1-0 at Goodison Park.

Abdoulaye Douvcoure helped the Toffiees prolong their 69-year long stay with a goal in the 57th minute. 

Meanwhile, Leeds' three-season stay in the Premier League is over after a 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham confirmed the team's relegation.

Harry Kane and Pedro Porro scored early in each half to put Spurs 2-0 ahead on Sunday and, although Jack Harrison reduced the deficit, Kane struck a game-clinching second in what could be his last game for the London club.

Tottenham substitute Lucas Moura sliced through a porous defense in stoppage time to complete the misery for Leeds, which ultimately would have gone down even with a win at Elland Road.

Leeds went into the final day needing not only victory but for relegation rivals Everton and Leicester to drop points. Since they both won, Leeds' 21st league defeat of the season was immaterial and home fans vented their frustration and anger after the final whistle sounded.
