Sunderland continue to bow out of the Premier League with a whimper

This is a modal window.

Swansea City took a step closer to Premier League safety with an important away win over Sunderland.

Sunderland's last home game of a 10-year Premier League stay ended in a dismal 2-0 defeat that gave no cause for optimism in the Wearsiders' Championship struggles to come.

Mercifully there was no lap of honour from Sunderland at the end -- Moyes had said previously that players ought to be hanging their heads in shame instead -- following what was one of their most embarrassing, turgid performances of a rotten season.
