LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers could not hide his disappointment after his side were edged out of the Premier League top four on the final day for the second season in succession after a 4-2 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.

His side have spent a total of 242 days in the top four this season, even more than champions Manchester City, but ended up in fifth spot meaning they will play in the Europa League rather than the lucrative Champions League next season.
