 Aston Villa 2 - 0 Norwich City Norwich were relegated from the Premier League after a defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Jacob Ramsey played a key role for Aston Villa after a magnificent solo effort helped his die win 2-0 at Norwich. The 20-year-old ran at the Norwich defence from inside his half before thumping the ball past Tim Krul to break the deadlock at Carrow Road. Ollie Watkins sidefooted home Carney Chukwuemeka's low delivery to complete the scoring and deepen Norwich's relegation fears. The player told BT Sport: "I've been watching clips of the gaffer (Steven Gerrard). He was one of the best goalscoring midfielders and that's what I want to be" More reaction This is how Steven Gerrard responded after the match.

Teemu Pukki could only prod straight at goalkeeper Jose Sa in the second half. Wolves were poor throughout and they faded out of the contest and were ultimately grateful for a point after Lukas Rupp's weak side-foot effort ended a promising Norwich move late on. Norwich are now three points clear of bottom side Newcastle United. Chelsea 1 - 1 Manchester United It's been another busy week for Manchester United.
