Newcastle United and Norwich City were
relegated from the Premier League on
Wednesday as Sunderland secured their
survival with a one-sided 3-0 victory over
Everton.
Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone's first
two goals for the club and a Patrick van
Aanholt free-kick took Sam Allardyce's side
four points clear of danger with one game
remaining.
Norwich returned to the Championship a
year after promotion
despite a 4-2 win over
Watford, while Newcastle, Sunderland's arch
rivals, will play in the second tier for the
first time since 2010.
It is the fourth season in a row that
Sunderland have pulled off a late escape to
avoid relegation and it guarantees the
northeast club top-flight football for a 10th
consecutive season.
