what a day (in the EPL)

West Bromwich Albion survive! Norwich, Crystal Palace and Southhampton go down to Division 1. What a final day!

West Brom reached 34 points and safety with a 2-0 home win over Portsmouth, becoming the first club to avoid relegation after being bottom at Christmas since the Premier League started.

Palace conceded a goal in the 82nd minute in a 2-2 draw at Charlton Athletic.

Palace's goal difference on 33 points kept them ahead of Norwich, who were crushed 6-0 at Fulham and Southampton's 27-year stay in the top flight ended on 32 points and a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United.

Middlesbrough pipped Manchester City to the final UEFA Cup slot after holding Stuart Pearce's men to a 1-1 draw. City's Robbie Fowler missed a stoppage-time penalty which allowed Boro to join Liverpool and Bolton Wanderers in Europe.
