Newcastle, Norwich face drop

While champions Leicester City prepared for a huge party at the King Power Stadium, where they were receiving the Premier League trophy after the late match with Everton, all eyes were on the desperate scrap for survival at the other end of the table.

Norwich lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United and Newcastle were only able to come away with a goalless draw at doomed Aston Villa.

Rafa Benitez's Newcastle, who are a point behind north-east neighbours Sunderland in 18th place despite having played a game more, would then be relegated along with Norwich who are 19th and have two matches left but remain three points behind the Magpies.

United's win at Norwich, courtesy of Juan Mata's fifth goal against the Canaries, leaves them in fifth place, one point behind neighbours Manchester City who occupy the fourth Champions League qualification spot and face fellow contenders Arsenal on Sunday.

West Ham United's push to play Champions League football in their first season in the Olympic Stadium looked bleak following their surprising 4-1 hammering by Swansea City in their final Saturday afternoon game at the Boleyn Ground.
