Leicester City's Champions League qualification now hang in a balance after the Foxes suffered a shocking 4-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

The moe team came from behind to thrash 10-man Leicester City and boost their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

Jamie Vardy got on the mark to bag his 23rd goal of the season and place the away team in front.

In a calamitous two minutes, the Foxes threw away a 1-0 lead as Junior Stanislas scored from the spot, Dominic Solanke put the hosts in front and Caglar Soyuncu was sent off.

The Foxes defender kicked Callum Wilson as Bournemouth celebrated their second goal.

A shot from Stanislas then found the net via a big deflection off Jonny Evans and Solanke scored his second to give the Cherries their first win in 10 games.

It keeps Bournemouth three points from safety, after wins for West Ham and Watford on Saturday, while Leicester remains fourth.
