Burnley were relegated from the Premier League despite beating Hull City 1-0 on Saturday, results elsewhere sending them back to the Championship after one season in the top flight.
Burnley needed to win their last three games to have any hope of avoiding the drop but they were sent down after Sunderland, Leicester City and Aston Villa all won and Newcastle United drew.
Danny Ings scored Burnley's first goal in over 10 hours but it proved in vain as Sean Dyche's side have 29 points from 36 matches with two games remaining.
Hull now occupy the final relegation spot with 34 points, and Queens Park Rangers, who are bottom, will also be relegated if they lose to second-placed Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Newcastle ended a run of eight successive defeats thanks to a 1-1 draw with West Brom at St James' Park which left John Carver's side 17th, two points above Hull.
Newcastle's north-east rivals Sunderland claimed a gritty 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park to climb out of the bottom three and up to 16th with 36 points from 35 games.
Leicester have now won six their last seven league matches and remained on course to avoid the drop after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Southampton moved them up to 15th.
FA Cup finalists Aston Villa surged up to 14th after a 1-0 win over West Ham United at Villa Park.
Sixth-placed Tottenham Hotspur hold a point advantage over Southampton in the battle for Europa League qualification despite a 3-0 defeat by Stoke City.
Fourth-placed Manchester United travel to Crystal Palace later on Saturday hoping to end a run of three straight league games and consolidate the final Champions League qualification spot.
