Stoke City 6-1 Liverpool: Gerrard distraught
|
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.
Steven Gerrard's final appearance in a Liverpool shirt ended in
disastrous style as a rampant Stoke City struck five first-half goals to ruin
the departing captain's goodbye.
Mame Biram Diouf scored a brace before Jonathan
Walters, Steven N'Zonzi and Charlie Adam left a stunned Liverpool five down at
the break. Gerrard managed to salvage a consolation goal in the second-half
before former Red Peter Crouch compunded Brendan Rodgers' side's misery.
