Thrashing at Man City relegates QPR

Queens Park Rangers have been relegated from the Premier League after a tame surrender against Manchester City.

Sergio Aguero struck a hat-trick, with two of his goals coming after poor defending and the third via a penalty.

Aleksandar Kolarov curled home a first-half free-kick and both James Milner and David Silva tapped in late on.

Second-placed City could have had more as they overwhelmed a poor Rangers side who, on this display, deserve their instant return to the Championship.

Chris Ramsey’s QPR side needed to win each of their final three matches to have any chance of survival, but the manner in which they were beaten by deposed champions City was disappointing.

They were woeful in defence and virtually non-existent in attack as they invited a relentless torrent of attacks from their hosts – City enjoying 60% possession in the match and creating 22 efforts on goal. — Reuters
