Burnley were relegated from the Premier League despite beating Hull City 1-0 on Saturday as results elsewhere sent them back to the Championship after one season in the top flight, Reuters reported. The humble Lancashire club needed to win their last three games to have any hope of avoiding the drop but there proved no escape after Sunderland, Leicester City and Aston Villa all won and Newcastle United drew. While Sunderland's win over Everton sealed Burnley's fate, six other clubs are still in trouble including Queens Park Rangers and Hull who occupy the other two places in the relegation zone. QPR will perish if they fail to win at second-placed Manchester City on Sunday. At the other end of the table Manchester United will join City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the Champions League next season if newly-crowned champions Chelsea beat Liverpool on Sunday. United ended a run of three consecutive defeats when they won 2-1 at Crystal Palace in Saturday's late game with a 19th-minute Juan Mata penalty and a 78th-minute header from Marouane Fellaini either side of Jason Puncheon's 57th minute deflected free kick. United are seven points clear of Liverpool, who have three games remaining. -- SPA 22:48 LOCAL TIME 19:48 GMT تغريد
