Premier League: Leicester City misses out on top-four finish after loss to Tottenham Hotspur

The Hindu  

Leicester City suffered a horrible case of deja vu as its Champions League dream was shattered on the final day of the season for the second straight year after it twice squandered the lead to lose 4-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Jamie Vardy converted two penalties to give Leicester 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the crunch Premier League clash and, with top-four rival Chelsea losing 2-1 at Aston Villa, that would have been enough for Leicester to claim a Champions League spot. Just like last season when a Champions League qualifying spot looked to be its for the taking, this season's FA Cup winner Leicester finished in fifth place and will have to be content with a Europa League campaign. "Apologies for not making the Champions League spots," defender Wes Morgan, captain of Leicester's 2016 title-winning team who is hanging up his boots, said.
