- Sheffield are 10 points from safety with just three games left following their 25th league defeat of a dismal season
Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League after a 5-1 thrashing at Newcastle on Saturday.
Chris Wilder’s side are 10 points from safety with just three games left following their 25th league defeat of a dismal season.
The bottom of the table Blades, who have only three league victories this term, will return to the Championship just 12 months after winning promotion.
Anel Ahmedhodzic put Sheffield ahead at St James’ Park, but Alexander Isak struck twice, Bruno Guimaraes and Callum Wilson each netted and Ben Osborn scored an own goal to complete the rout.
An own goal by Ben Osborn deepened the woe for Sheffield United and Callum Wilson smashed in a fifth.
Newcastle remain in seventh place but are just one point behind Manchester United, who conceded a late penalty in a draw against Burnley.
