Hull City relegated as Newcastle survive on final day of drama

London: Hull City were relegated and Newcastle United survived the drop on a dramatic final day of the Premier League season on Sunday.

Newcastle`s 2-0 win over West Ham United at a raucous St James` Park where Moussa Sissoko scored after 54 minutes and Jonas Gutierrez added a second late on meant they finished with 39 points while Hull ended on 35 after drawing 0-0 at home with Manchester United.

United finished with 10 men after Marouane Fellaini was sent off late in the game for stamping on Hull`s Paul McShane.

Hull had two goals disallowed in a two-minute spell during the first half, and their failure to beat United for the first time in eight Premier League matches means they go down along with already-relegated Burnley and Queens Park Rangers.
