Leicester dropped out of the Premier League
When the whistle signaled 10 minutes of injury time in the second half of the Everton - Bournemouth match, tears began to fall on the faces of some Leicester fans. Aiyawatt President Srivaddhanaprabha sat contemplatively in a corner of the stage. Seven years ago, his father took the King Power Stadium team from a middleweight club to become the Premier League champion. Many consider it a "miracle".
This time, no miracle happened to Leicester even though they met the necessary condition to win three points against West Ham. Although Harvey Barnes and Wout Faes scored at half-time to help "Foxes" lead 2-0 before Pablo Fornals shortened the score for West Ham late in the game. In the same match, Abdoulaye Doucoure scored the only goal, helping Everton defeat Bournemouth 1-0.
Sadness doubled for Leeds fans. Not only were they relegated, they received a heavy 1-4 defeat at home against Tottenham. In early May, Leeds appointed "relegation specialist" Sam Allardyce, but the veteran military leader could not do it.
Leicester and Leeds' sadness is Everton's joy. Thanks to the only goal of Abdoulaye Doucoure, Sean Dyche's teachers and students won 1-0 against Bournemouth and ended the season with two points more than the relegation group.
No miracles come to Leicester on the final day of the 2022-2023 Premier League. Because they do not have the right to decide the relegation ticket, no matter how many goals they win. What they need is Everton dropping points in the match at the same time against Bournemouth. However, this scenario does not happen.
