Aston Villa 2 – 0 Norwich
Josh Sargent experienced double-heartbreak on his Norwich return from injury, being forced off after 15 minutes, and watching Norwich get officially relegated from the Premier League.
Sargent had been sidelined for a month with an ankle injury, and was taken off in the 81st minute after having been brought on only in the 67th minute, after head coach Dean Smith’s gamble led him to aggravate the injury.
Aston Villa scored in the 41st minute from Ollie Watkins, a brilliant one-on-one goal. Danny Ings added the nail to the coffin in added time, his 93rd minute scrappy goal officially relegating Norwich to the Championship.
Sargent will likely be out for the rest of the season with four games left to play, with Norwich continuing heir death march against West Ham in their next outing on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest 5 – 1 Swansea City
Ethan Horvath was on the bench but teenager Alex Mighten was a second half substitute who scored in Forest’s thumping win over Swansea City.
It was a calamitous start for the visitors as Cyrus Christie scored an own goal after fumbling over his own goalkeeper, and shown a red for trying to deny the ball with his arm. The ball was adjudged to have gone over the line, so the red was rescinded to a yellow card and the 22nd-minute goal stood.
Swansea pulled the game level just a few minutes later through Michael Obafemi, but it wouldn’t stick. Sam Surridge would go on to score a hat-trick with goals in the 48th, 52nd, and 69th minute to put the game to bed.
One last goal was up for grabs from the young Mighten, who fought his way to a scrappy goal to add the fifth.
