But Sunderland and Newcastle gave themselves survival lifelines with respective victories against Norwich and Swansea. Sorry Villa's 28-year stay in the top flight came to an end with a 24th defeat in 34 league games. Wayne Rooney was back in the United starting line-up for the first time since February 13 following a knee injury, but it was new Old Trafford hero Marcus Rashford who sealed Villa's fate. Teenager Rashford turned in Antonio Valencia's 32nd-minute cutback for his seventh goal in 12 games. Sunderland won the big battle at the bottom 3-0 to close the gap on Norwich to one point and hand themselves hope of beating the drop. Defeat for the Black Cats would have left them seven points adrift of Norwich and safety, with boss Sam Allardyce facing relegation from the Premier League for the first time in his career. But the visitors were by far the bet- ter side to emphatically record only a second win in 12 matches. Sunderland's breakthrough ar- rived four minutes before half-time when Andre Wisdom felled Fabio Borini in the area and the Italian got up to score from the penalty spot. Jermain Defoe added a second eight minutes after the re-start, fin- ishing Borini's cross at the far post for his 16th goal of the season, be- fore substitute Duncan Watmore wrapped up victory in stoppage time. Newcastle beat Swansea 3-0 to se- cure their first win under new boss Rafael Benitez at the fifth attempt. Jamaal Lascelles broke the dead- lock five minutes before half-time with only his second Newcas- tle goal, heading home Andros Townsend's corner. Moussa Sissoko eased Newcastle's nerves eight minutes from time and Townsend added a third in the fi- nal seconds for Newcastle to move within three points of Norwich with a game in hand. Everton's wait for a league victory goes on after a 1-1 home draw with Southampton. It is now six games without a win for the FA Cup semi-finalists af- ter Ramiro Funes Mori's low strike midway through the second half was cancelled out by Sadio Mane eight minutes later. Watford secured a first win in sev- en league games with a 1-0 victory at West Brom. Ben Watson grabbed the win- ner after 27 minutes when he met Adlene Guedioura's corner. But Heurelho Gomes was the Hornets' hero as he stopped two Saido Berahino spot-kicks in the second half, the Brazilian becom- ing the first goalkeeper to save two penalties in two different Premier League games. In the final match of the day, Man- chester City defeated Chelsea 3-0. Sergio Aguero scored three goals to complete a hat-trick. Aston Villa's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed with a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford Joleon Lescott after Aston Villa's relegation was confirmed Moussa Sissoko helped Newcastle beat Swansea 3-0
