Leicester City Women are facing relegation after a poor season, with nine consecutive Women's Super League defeats. The team's 7-0 thrashing at Arsenal confirmed their fate, with two games left to play.
What happened?
The writing was on the wall for Leicester City Women, who have scored just 10 goals all season. The team's poor performance has been a concern for some time, and the recent defeat at Arsenal was the final nail in the coffin.
Why it matters for Leicester City Women
A double relegation would be a complete PR disaster, according to BBC Radio Leicester reporter Zoe McGrady. The team's fate is now in their own hands, with a play-off scheduled for Saturday, 23 May.
What comes next?
Leicester City Women have a chance to redeem themselves in the play-off, but the alternative does not bear thinking about. The team's manager, Rick Passmoor, has made a positive impact on the players, but the results have not shown it. | Stat | Value | | Consecutive defeats | 9 | | Goals scored | 10 | | Relegation play-off | Saturday, 23 May
