Following a crushing defeat against Newcastle, Sheffield United became the first team this season to be relegated from the Premier League.
It was confirmed on Saturday that Chris Wilder’s team has been relegated from the Premier League, meaning they will play Championship football the next season.
At St. James’ Park, the Blades led Newcastle but ultimately fell short of the Magpies, 5-1. Eddie Howe’s team broke all previous records with this victory, as they currently have 13 goals this season against the Blades.
In the competition’s history, this represents the most goals one team has ever scored against another in a single campaign.
The defeat leaves the Blades 10 points adrift of safety with only three games remaining, while Newcastle stay seventh and are well placed to secure a spot in Europe next season.
