Hull City's relegation were confirmed on Sunday after a 4-0 rout by Crystal Palace.
They struggled to recover from gifting Wilfried Zaha a third-minute goal, and will return to the Sky Bet Championship next season after this 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.
Palace boss Sam Allardyce said afterwards: "I think because of the run-in, the size of the teams we have had to play, this was the hardest (team to keep up).
"Now, we have not wasted the magnificent results we have achieved, particularly in that short spell where we did well against Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
"It is a massive relief that's for sure. We all knew the implications of relegation today and the devastation it causes a football club and this football club has stayed in the Premier League for five years and wants to grow.
"It was a great effort from the players today, tactically we set out to nullify Hull City and just expose them when we thought they were weak which is they held a high line and put a quality ball in behind and obviously that goes off to a great start with the first goal.
"It was a perfect performance from the players today, 4-0, a clean sheet and it is terrific for everybody that has taken part since I've been here - not just the squad but everyone behind the scenes and the fans in particularly in the end who have been behind us.
"We had a little slip-up but that came through injuries really and now we have come back, in our last home game, what a way to finish in front of your home fans. I know it puts Hull down after a brave fight but it is a great, great feeling."
