Bristol City will miss out on next season’s record TV deal windfall after their 3-1 defeat by Brighton saw them relegated to the Championship.
The Robins, who had been bottom for the majority of the campaign, needed to win — and one of Aston Villa and Birmingham to slip up — to survive.
It was not to be, with Villa picking up an impressive 0-0 draw at Arsenal to maintain their top-flight status.
Birmingham were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham, but the Blues only needed to equal Bristol’s result to secure safety.
