Premier League round-up: Newcastle send Blades down, Man United held by Burnley

Sheffield United became the first team relegated from the Premier League this season after surrendering an early lead to suffer a 5-1 drubbing at Newcastle United on Saturday.

Anel Ahmedhodzic’s fifth-minute opener at St James’ Park gave the struggling Blades hope of an upset.

But Alexander Isak’s second-half double, plus goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Callum Wilson either side of a Ben Osborn own goal, inflicted a 25th defeat of a bleak season on Chris Wilders' side to boost the Magpies’ hopes of European qualification.

Wilder expressed his desire to stay on and mount another challenge for promotion.

He said: "It stings and it hurts. We have to own it. We have got so much work to do on the training ground. We have got to have a proper pre-season.

"Sheffield United is a really good football club. I think everyone understands that but it's been a really poor season.

"I've still got another year left of my contract. I'd like to think that the supporters can trust me. I'm enthusiastic and committed along with my coaching staff to get it right. We know exactly what direction we need to go, what the culture is going to look like, what pre-season is going to look like.

"It's going to be a tough summer for everybody."

Elsewhere, Manchester United’s mediocre campaign continued after Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty earned Burnley a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag’s side looked to have scraped an uninspiring victory when Antony notched his first Premier League goal of the season in the 79th minute.
