Late drama on an otherwise forgettable Premier League afternoon confirmed Sunderland’s relegation to the Championship on Saturday.
Sunderland lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth thanks to this 88th-minute strike from Josh King, which was one of just two goals scored in all four of the day’s 3pm matches.
I’ll be amazed of Barcelona don’t come in with £120m for Josh King in the summer. #afcb pic.twitter.com/mLSFlF9uLB

Sunderland become the third team to be relegated from the Premier League four times, now sharing the unfortunate record with Norwich City and Crystal Palace.
The Black Cats almost had their relegation delayed when Southampton were awarded a 90th-minute penalty against Hull City.
However, Eldin Jakupovic pulled off a superb save to deny Dusan Tadic, earning Hull a 0-0 draw and a point which sealed Sunderland’s fate.

Two goals in four matches… We’ll probably give Match of the Day a miss tonight!
