#3 2003/04 - Leicester City
The 2003/04 season saw Leicester City get relegated from the Premier League despite scoring 48 goals throughout the season. The main reason behind the relegation was their shaky defence which conceded 65 goals at an average of around 1.75 goals per game.
Leicester City finished tenth in terms of goals scored but eventually failed to stay in the top-tier due to their poor defensive display. They were the third poorest team considering the number of goals conceded, just behind the other two relegated teams. Six teams managed to score four or more goals against them in a single game, showing their poor organization at the back.
Leicester City's defenders showed poor discipline as the club accumulated 62 yellow cards and 7 red cards in total. Micky Adams struggled to find the best defensive line and constantly made changes at the back due to their poor show in every game.
Ben Thatcher had one of the poorest seasons as the Englishman struggled to control his aggression on the pitch. Thatcher accrued a total of eight yellow cards showing his failure to time his tackles. Riccardo Scimeca and Nikolaos Dabizas too had poor seasons as each collected five yellow cards and were sent-off once during the campaign.
Adding to the discipline woes, Leicester topped the charts of own goals as their players scored eight goals in their own net - five more than the second team on the list.
Aston Villa, who scored the same number of goals as Leicester, finished comfortably at 6th position, 12 places ahead of the Foxes. The full credit of the success goes to their solid defence which kept 11 cleansheets and conceded just 44 goals during the course of the season.
