Sheffield United equal Premier League relegation record with six games remaining

Sheffield United have been relegated from the Premier League with six games in hand following their defeat to Wolves on Saturday, matching an unwanted all-time modern era record.

The Blades were sunk just before the hour mark courtesy of Willian Jose's right-footed finish, to condemn them to a return to the Championship after two seasons in the top flight.

With just 32 games under their belt, it means that the club write themselves a further piece of undesirable history in their demotion, equaling the lowest number of games for a side to take the tumble back to the second tier.
