CARDIFF, Wales — Cardiff was relegated from the English Premier League after losing to Crystal Palace 3-2 on Saturday.
The Welsh club joined Fulham and Huddersfield in going down, and will be returning to the second-tier League Championship after just one season up.
With the three relegation spots finalized with one round of games to spare, Brighton is sure of a third straight season in the top flight. Brighton, which is in fourth-to-last place, is four points clear of Cardiff with two matches to play.
Palace arrived in south Wales with a reputation for relegating teams, having been the side that guaranteed the demotion of Hull in 2017, Stoke in 2018, and Huddersfield already this season.
