Hull were left on the brink of relegation from the English Premier League as Leicester completed one of the great escapes to preserve their top-flight status.
With Burnley and Queens Park Rangers already demoted, Hull remained in the last drop spot after second-half goals from Nacer Chadli and Danny Rose secured a 2-0 victory for Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

Defeat left Hull two points from safety and needing to beat Manchester United on the final day of the season, with other results also having to go their way, in order to stay up.
Leicester, bottom of the table for 140 days this season, ensured they would be playing Premier League football next term following a goalless draw away to fellow strugglers Sunderland.
The Black Cats are now three points ahead of Hull but with an inferior goal difference.
They may need at least a point from their two remaining matches, against Arsenal in midweek and away to Chelsea next weekend, to beat the drop.
Newcastle, Sunderland's north-east rivals, were left just two points ahead of Hull after a 2-1 loss to QPR, their ninth defeat in 10 games.
Aston Villa were thrashed 6-1 by Southampton, with Sadio Mane scoring the quickest hat-trick in Premier League history, but results elsewhere kept the Birmingham club in the top flight.
Monday's games will help determine which two clubs join already crowned champions Chelsea in the group stage of the Champions League next season.
Second-placed Manchester City travel to Swansea while third-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand, face fourth-placed Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The side that finishes fourth in England's top flight will enter a play-off round against Europes other fourth placed clubs.
Chelsea are away to West Bromwich Albion on Monday.
