PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW

-

SUNDERLAND have been relegated from the Premier League after losing 1-0 at home to Bournemout­h while Hull drew 0-0 at Southampto­n.

David Moyes’ side headed into their game knowing their fate would be sealed if they failed to match the Tigers’ result at St Mary’s.

Both games were goalless heading into the final few minutes, but in the 88th minute Josh King netted the winner for the Cherries at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats nearly had a reprieve when Southampto­n were awarded a penalty for Alfred N’Diaye’s foul on Maya Yoshida, but Dusan Tadic’s stoppage-time spot-kick was saved by Eldin Jakupovic.

The results left Sunderland 13 points behind fourth-bottom Hull with four games left.

Aside from King, Jamie Vardy was the only other player on target in the Premier League’s four 3pm kick-offs, the England striker’s fine goal two minutes before half-time earning Leicester a 1-0 win at West Brom.

Shinji Okazaki intercepte­d a back-pass and slid in Vardy for a superb lofted finish over Ben Foster as the champions’ revival under Craig Shakespear­e continued.

The match between Stoke and West Ham at the bet365 Stadium finished 0-0.

In the day’s late kick-off an early goal from Ashley Barnes and a late one from Andre Gray saw Burnely win 2-0 at Crystal Palace to all but seal their place in the top flight for another season.
