Leicester City manager Gary Rowett spoke to BBC Radio Leicester following the 2-2 draw with Hull City that condemned the Foxes to relegation to League One. "I'm incredibly frustrated. In the first half, our energy and drive didn't match the importance of the game," he said.

"We still created some good moments and chances, but the fact that 18-year-old Divine Mukasa was trying to do everything himself showed that some of the others needed to step up a little bit more. "Second half was much better and if we had that same drive and energy and passion in some of the other games, maybe things would be different. "We should have won the game - we created lots of good chances.

The game was symptomatic of a lot of games - we created a lot of chances and we don't take them and give away silly goals at the other end to give the opposition a lift. "We are all disappointed and the fans, who have paid their hard-earned money, will be incredibly disappointed to see their football club that 10 years ago won the Premier League [get relegated]. "I know it's a rollercoaster being a fan at times, but I probably wouldn't expect that rollercoaster to be quite so extreme.
