Newcastle v Liverpool: Photos
Norwich City were relegated from the Premier League after a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.
The Canaries had to score at least a point to stick to their Premier League status for another week, and hopefully Burnley’s revival didn’t continue as they traveled to their Watford counterparts.
But Dean Smith’s men fell from defeat against his former team, which together with Burnley’s 2-1 victory over Watford meant that Norwich was eliminated in the Championship.
Smith’s return to Villa Park for the first time since his dismissal in November did not give a solid start, as Leon Bailey saw a shot pushed into the crossbar by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul.
Villa took the lead through Ollie Watkins five minutes before the break, with substitute Danny Ings also signing up in added time to inflict the first relegation of his former boss, who took over Carrow Road from Daniel Farke.

The Hornets took the lead in the beginning with an own goal by Burnley captain James Tarkovsky, after the ball bounced off the crossbar and bounced off his back in the eighth minute.
Burnley received a penalty for a foul against Dwight McNeill from Musa Sissoko, but the decision was overturned by the VAR, who was instead awarded a free kick on the field.
Ashley Barnes hit the crossbar with her head before the Clarets equalized when Jack Cork nodded eight minutes later.

However, there was still time for Josh Brownhill to hit the late 20-yard winner, which confirmed Norwich’s relegation and also left Watford on edge.
The dismissal of Sean Deitch at such a late stage of the season was seriously tested, but the Clarets continue their revival under the leadership of interim boss Mike Jackson.
