Swansea's Connor Roberts reacting at the final whistle as Southampton players celebrate — Reuters SWANSEA, May 9 (AP): West Bromwich Albion was relegated from the Premier League on Tuesday after Southampton beat Swansea 1-0 to leave the Welsh club facing an uphill task to preserve its seven-year stay in the top flight.
Manolo Gabbiadini converted a close-range shot in the 72nd minute as Southampton moved three points above the drop zone and almost guaranteed its place in the Premier League next season thanks to a superior goal difference to its rivals.
Swansea stayed third from last - in the final relegation place - and now must beat already-relegated Stoke on the final day of the season on Sunday, while also requiring 17th-place Huddersfield to lose to Chelsea on Wednesday and Arsenal on Sunday.
"We must try to do our part and see if a miracle can happen," Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal said. "We had things in our hands, and now we don't. We are depending on others."
