Harry Winks lost his temper after Leicester City’s latest defeat, and the moment quickly spread online. The 30-year-old midfielder reacted angrily to fans after the team’s 1–0 loss to Portsmouth at Fratton Park. That result has pushed Leicester very close to relegation, with just three games left in the season. Leicester, who won the Premier League in 2016, are now eight points away from safety. They do have one extra game compared to Blackburn Rovers, who sit just above the drop zone. Even if they win that, the gap would still be tight. Right now, they are also three points behind Oxford United, who have played the same number of matches.The situation means Leicester could be relegated as early as Tuesday if they fail to beat Hull City at home. The pressure is clearly building, and it showed in Winks’ reaction after the match.
