Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have gone into relegation with Leicester City despite their club beating West Ham 2-1 on premier league last day.
Everton’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth mean that Leicester City are relegated to the championship. Incidentally, Everton have another Nigerian in their team, Alex Iwobi.
Harvey Barnes opened scoring for Leicester as he has acres of space after latching on to a precise pass into the box. He did not hesitate to release a low effort which ended up in the bottom right corner.
Leicester doubled on 62 minutes. Wout Faes celebrated a stunning goal. He managed to win himself just enough space inside the box to meet the free kick and powered a perfectly placed header inside the right post.
Pablo Fornals pulled one back for West Ham, after he made himself some space on the edge of the penalty area and pulled the trigger. His accurate effort went off the post into the bottom left corner.
Elsewhere, Abdoulaye Doucoure scored the only goal as Everton beat Bournemouth by a lone goal to escape relegation.
He got to the ball on the edge of the box and fired in a first-time shot without any hesitation. The strike was excellent and went inside the right post.
Elsewhere, Tottenham thrashed Leeds 4-1 to send them into relegation, with Sam Allardyce employed to take them out of relegation zone.
