Norwich City were relegated from the Premier League on
Saturday after being beaten 2-0 at Aston Villa following a goal and assist by
substitute Danny Ings.
Ings, who came off the bench for Leon Bailey, found Watkins
with a searching ball from the left with practically his first touch and his
fellow forward capitalised on a slip by Brandon Williams to fire Villa into the
lead after 41 minutes.
Ings got on the scoresheet himself in the dying minutes of
the match to double Villa's lead with a sharp swivel and shot.
Norwich needed to avoid defeat and hope Burnley did not beat
Watford to avoid going down. However, late goals from Jack Cork and Josh
Brownhill gave Burnley a 2-1 win and condemned Norwich to the Championship
after one season back in the top-flight.
Villa's first win in six games moved them up to 13th, on 40
points, while Norwich are rooted to the bottom on 21.
