Sunderland 0 Bournemouth 1: Late King goal confirms hosts' relegation

Bournemouth are virtually safe after winning 1-0 at Sunderland on Saturday, with the Black Cats relegated from the Premier League.

Sunderland became the first team to be relegated from the Premier League this season after Joshua King's late goal consigned David Moyes' men to a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.

Hull's 0-0 draw at Southampton looked to have provided the hosts with a stay of execution, but King rounded off a rapid Bournemouth break to send Sunderland into the Championship.

After 10 years in the Premier League and a series of close shaves in recent seasons, Sunderland drop out of the top flight with fans chanting angrily against Moyes and owner Ellis Short at the full-time whistle.
