Sunderland survives in EPL, Newcastle and Norwich relegated (The Associated Press)
Sunderland completed its latest escape from relegation in the English Premier League on Wednesday - and consigned bitter northeast rival Newcastle to the second tier in the process. A 3-0 win over Everton guaranteed safety for Sunderland with a game to spare this season, justifying its decision to hire survival specialist Sam Allardyce as manager in October. Newcastle - much to Sunderland's delight - and Norwich were demoted instead, joining already-relegated Aston Villa in going down just as the Premier League begins its new domestic and international TV deals worth $12 billion over the next three years.
