Leicester City Champions To 12th What Happened?

Everyone one remembers the fairy tale triumph of Leicester City in 2016. The odds were so low for them to win that it was more likely for Sir Alex Ferguson to win Strictly I'm Dancing. But the following season the champions flopped finishing 12th in the league, so what happened.

Their horrible title defence started with a 2-1 defeat to Man City in their first game becoming the first title defending team to lose their first game of the season. This was followed by a 6-1 thumping by Tottenham Hotspurs and a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. After that Leicester's form couldn't recover and they flopped down to 12th place.

But the main reason for Leicester's flop was the form of their star striker Jamie Vardy. Vardy notched up 24 goals in the 2015/16 season but declined dramatically in the 2016/17 only scoring 13. Now I think Leicester are back to being a mid table team but with Leicester you never know.
