The 0-0 scoreline from the Britannia does not reflect the drama on final day of Championship action

Backed at [25.0] on Betfair when the market opened, Leicester were relegated from the Championship today after a 0-0 draw at Stoke.

On a tumultuous day, Ian Holloway's team could not find the goal they craved and now drop to League One level for the first time in their history. A solitary goal would have been enough after Coventry were thumped 4-1 at Charlton.

Away from Coventry, Leicester's relegation rivals did what was needed despite conceding early goals; Southampton beating Sheffield United 3-2 and Sheffield Wednesday hammering Norwich 4-1.

Saints had been backed at [1.52] and Wednesday at evens to go down.

Stoke, of course, will now play Premier League football next year. Tony Pulis' team were matched at [11.0] to be promoted.

The 0-0 correct score in the Stoke-Leicester fixture was backed at [13.5].
