Palace Safe, Hull Go Down after 4-0 defeat

Hull have been relegated from the Premier League after a 4-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace.

They struggled to recover from gifting Wilfried Zaha a third-minute goal, and will return to the Championship next season after the 4-0 defeat left them four points from safety with only one fixture to play.

Palace had needed only a draw to preserve their Premier League status but effectively secured victory with Christian Benteke’s 17th goal of a largely difficult season.

Luka Milivojevic and Patrick van Aanholt added further finishes, while the result also secured Swansea’s Premier League status.
