The current bottom of the Premier League, Sheffield United, was relegated to the second division after the correction received in Newcastle this Saturday (5-1), when there are still three dates left for the conclusion of the championship.
The ‘Blades’, hampered this season by defensive weakness, return to the Championship a year after their promotion to the elite.
They have only 16 points in their locker after having played 35 games, ten points less than the current first team out of the burn, Nottingham Forest (17th, 26 points), which has only played 34 games.
The team led by Chris Wilder cannot therefore mathematically leave the red zone before the end of the calendar.
Their executioner of the day, Newcastle, reinforced their seventh position and is just one point behind sixth, Manchester United, who drew 1-1 this Saturday at Old Trafford against the penultimate, Burnley (19th, 24 points).
Brazilian forward Antony opened the scoring in the 79th minute, but the ‘Clarets’ equalized through Swiss Zeki Amdouni, from a penalty (87).
Luton, the first team in relegation (18th, 25 points), suffered its fourth defeat in the last five games, this Saturday against Wolverhampton (2-1).
The ‘Hatters’ remain one point behind Nottingham Forest, host of Manchester City on Sunday.
