Norwich relegated after defeat at Aston Villa

Norwich were relegated from the Premier League with defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The tame loss, coupled with Burnley's dramatic comeback win at Watford, left the Canaries bottom of the table and 13 points from safety with four games to play.

Their fans continued to support as a relegation that has looked on the cards for some time was confirmed.

Ollie Watkins put Villa ahead in the first half, capitalising on a slip from Brandon Williams before lashing high into the net.

Williams' error summed up Norwich's season, as did their lack of potency in front of goal. They created limited openings, while Villa hit the woodwork in each half.

Danny Ings added a late goal in stoppage time to add to Norwich's misery.

The low-key win for Villa ends a five-match winless run, lifts them to 13th in the table and takes them to the 40-point mark.
