Cardiff City Relegated after Crystal Palace Defeat

By Daily Sports on May 5, 2019

Cardiff City have been relegated from the Premier League after slumping to a 3-2 defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Neil Warnock’s side needed a win to have a realistic chance of beating the drop on the last day of the season, but they were out-classed by Palace at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Third bottom Cardiff are four points behind Brighton with only one game remaining, ensuring they will join already relegated Huddersfield and Fulham in the second tier next season.

The Bluebirds will make an immediate return to the Championship after last season’s promotion, their fate sealed by a dismal run of nine defeats in their last 11 league games.

It won’t be a season fondly remembered by Cardiff, with their relegation coming after the tragic death of striker Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash en route to Wales before he had even played a game for the club.

“They’ve tried hard. We’ve shown limitations today and that’s why we are where we are,” Warnock said.

“But the club’s arrived again now. It’s alive and kicking and that’s the main thing. When we first came here it was almost gone.

“I’m really proud of what we’ve done. It could have been a little bit closer, but things were out of hand.”

Warnock’s name was chanted by Cardiff fans despite the loss, but it remains to be seen if the 70-year-old returns for the Championship promotion bid next term.

In a painful twist, Cardiff were pushed towards relegation by Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, who spent time on loan with Cardiff when they last dropped out of the Premier League in 2014. (SuperSport)
