Bournemouth 2-0 Leicester - Foxes finish with whimper
In what could turn out to be Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game in charge of Leicester, this was a meek did not manage to muster any efforts on target and registered just three shots. Bournemouth kept Jakub Stolarczyk busy with 19 shots, seven hitting the Foxes managed to hold on until Antoine Semenyo finally broke the deadlock, but the goal had always seemed to be from the earlier VAR intervention, only a stunning fingertip save from Stolarczyk shortly after the restart, when he denied Marcus Tavernier what would have been a superb goal, kept Leicester on level only major chance came in the second chance when they counter-attacked after Bournemouth gave the ball away, but the hosts rapidly tracked back and Jordan Ayew eventually scuffed his effort at the back chants of "Leicester till I die" from the visiting supporters rounded off the season before they return to the second tier after a campaign in which they finished 18th, 15 points adrift of safety.

'Our goalkeeping union has been fantastic'
[Getty Images] Leicester City goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk says manager Ruud van Nistelrooy's backing has given him the "confidence" to go into the final three games of this season and "help the team", after being second choice to Mads Hermansen throughout this campaign. Hermansen will not play again this season after having groin surgery - and there are rumours the Dane could be set for a move away from King Power Stadium this summer. Stolarczyk spoke to BBC Radio Leicester about being given the opportunity to stake his claim to be number one next season: "It gives me a lot of confidence to go into the game and play the way I've always wanted to. "It's nice to just be myself. I've always wanted to be playing. I'm there to help the team control and win the games - and hopefully not have to make too many saves! "The manager has just told me to be myself. He told me I've already impressed him in the games I've played in. "It's difficult coming into games when you haven't played for a few months, but I think I'm doing OK. Maybe there have been a few dodgy things, but I kind of expect that. "I've got a good relationship with Mads. We're always pushing each other, whether it was last season or this season. We're always working hard in training. I think his performances and my performances show how well we have been training together. "The work we have been doing in our goalkeeping union - with [Danny] Wardy, Daniel [Iversen], Mads and myself - has been fantastic." Listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds
