Leicester City 1 Portsmouth 1: And now, your unlicensed crypto casino all-stars!
There were boos and empty seats as Leicester City threw away a lead for the second home game in a row – games which have summed up the wider situation at the club both on and off the pitch.

The Championship draw specialists versus the plucky, newly promoted darlings Wrexham. Did you see a potential banana skin in the making? Maybe. You probably also aren’t surprised to read that…

Can we shake up interviews with players and managers?

And just like that, it’s over. Could Jamie Vardy score his 200th goal in his 500th appearance? Haven’t you been paying attention? This had to be a fitting end to the fairy tale.
