What happened in the Premier League on Super Sunday?

David Jones 0:03
Hull City lose their status then in the Premier League on south London soil, well beaten by a jubilant Crystal Palace by four goals to nil. And you can hear the celebrations from as far as South Wales, because Swansea confirmed their status in the Premier League next season. But you can hardly fault Marco Silva. Damage really done last summer for Hull City when they failed to build on promotion back to the Premier League, and Mike Phelan tried to do the best he could with such limited resources. Then they decided to change their manager, sold two of their best players, brought seven in, including Ranocchia. Didn't go his way today. and didn't go Hull's way either, wasn't even close in the end. He couldn't change around their fortunes away from home, and that was the biggest problem, nowhere in the last 18 games on their travels.
David Jones 0:48
Just a step too much for them today. Too much to ask, Jamie?

How did Hull City fare against Crystal Palace?

David Jones 0:51
I think last week was the damage, really. Losing at home to Sunderland in a game where they expected to get three points. And today they started off so badly, couldn't get themselves going. It was a really poor performance from them today, but as you say, the damage was done probably early in the season. Marco Silva, I'd say, did OK, had a few good results, and then all of a sudden it started to go wrong the last few games. So I've been in that position. It's an awful position when you've been relegated. There's nothing like it, and it's going to hurt a lot of those players, but let's hope that they've got to try and build for next season. Will they reflect Thierry today? Do you think that perhaps the approach wasn't right from the start?

What were the implications of Swansea's survival in the Premier League?

Thierry Henry 1:29
Well, I mean... They had to deal with, since the beginning of the season, with not having enough players, change of manager, guys getting injured. Typical season of the team that looks like they're going to go down. They were on a good run, if I can say, especially at home. And again, I'm going to have to mention the same thing that Jamie mentioned. We lost against Sunderland. you know, at home. Wow, I didn't see that one coming. I thought they were going to stay up at one point, in all fairness, but the way they started the game today was very poor and after that you find yourself behind the head ball and they never came back into the game, obviously.
David Jones 2:11
You don't get relegated.

What key factors led to Hull City's relegation?

David Jones 2:12
They've not got relegated because a guy makes a mistake today, maybe they should have had a handball given in their favour. They've been disappointing all year. They've not performed. I think it was a mirror image of really what they've been about this year. Some of the football is decent enough, they didn't carry any threat. I mean, you can see goals the way they can see the first two. Poor, poor goals. Listen, if you win a league, you win it because you deserve to win it. If you get relegated, it's because you deserve to get relegated. Completes the hat-trick for the North East, not when they wanted, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, and now Hull City dropping out of the Premier League.

How did Liverpool secure their place in the top four?

David Jones 2:45
Swansea survive, and look at Crystal Palace now, who we talked about at the start of the day as relegation possible, is right up there, comfortable on 41 points. And what about the job that Sam Al-Addis has done in that time at Crystal Palace? Yeah, he's done a good job. I would say probably the easiest job he's ever had. When you look at the quality of players that Crystal Palace possess, maybe to holes, it's vast difference. You've got Benteke, Kabaye, Townsend, Zaha, full of really good quality. So they shouldn't really be in this position. And that's got to be their aim next year, not to be fighting relegation with two or three games to go. They've got too many good players for that. Sam's done a good job, but I would say probably the easiest job he's ever had.

What impact did Daniel Sturridge have in Liverpool's match?

David Jones 3:22
Let's find out what he's made of it. His reaction now with Greg Whelan. Sam, congratulations, mission accomplished. Some of your thoughts on knowing that you're safe.
Sam Allardyce 3:33
Well, it's a massive relief, I think that's for sure. I mean, we all know the implications of relegation today
