Ipswich Town was relegated from the Premier League on Saturday following a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle United, with the visitor reduced to 10 men after Ben Johnson was sent off for picking up two yellow cards in the first half.

Ipswich has 21 points, 15 behind West Ham United with four games left, while Newcastle moved up to third place on 62, five behind second-placed Arsenal and one ahead of Manchester City in fourth in the race for Champions League football next season.

Needing a victory to have any mathematical chance of staying up, Ipswich was pushed back relentlessly for most of the first half and its task was made all the harder when it lost Ben Johnson to a second booking in the 37th minute.

Alexander Isak put the Magpies ahead with a penalty deep into first-half stoppage time before Dan Burn and William Osula scored with second-half headers to consign Ipswich to the drop.

Cunha dismantles Leicester in sixth successive win for Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers extended its remarkable winning run to six Premier League games as Matheus Cunha scored one goal and set up two others in a comfortable 3-0 win over relegated Leicester City at Molineux on Saturday.

Wolves’ superb form has propelled them away from the relegation zone and into 13th in the table with 41 points from 34 games. Leicester is in 19th with 18 points from the same number of fixtures.

Cunha’s side-footed finished on 33 minutes gave the hosts a deserved lead, before Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes added almost identical goals in the second half, both put on a plate by the brilliant Brazilian.

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy missed a penalty – in the week in which he announced he was leaving the club – at the end of the campaign after 13 seasons as the hapless visitors slipped to a 17th loss in its last 19 league matches.
