Huddersfield relegated from Premier League

Huddersfield Town were the first team to be relegated from the Premier League this season after sufferingf a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Terriers have endured a dreadful second season in the top flight and were condemned to the drop by Luka Milivojevic's penalty and a Patrick van Aanholt strike.

Their loss, combined with wins for Burnley and Southampton over Wolves and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively, left them 19 points adrift of safety with six games remaining.

After earning promotion via the play-offs in 2016-17, Huddersfield sensationally avoided relegation back to the Championship under David Wagner.
