Aston Villa have been relegated to English football’s second tier for the first time since 1987 after defeat at Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal, sweeping Antonio Valencia’s cut-back through goalkeeper Brad Guzan’s legs.
Villa were second best for much of the game, though they did hit a post late on through Rudy Gestede’s volley.
It was a ninth straight loss for the visitors and left them 15 points from safety with only four matches left.
And Newcastle claimed a first win under Rafael Benitez as they overcame Swansea to bolster their chances of Premier League survival, reports the BBC.
Jamaal Lascelles headed in from a corner to put Newcastle in front towards the end of an edgy first half.
Ashley Williams and Jefferson Montero missed chances as the Swans dominated after the break, but Moussa Sissoko and Andros Townsend struck late goals.
Newcastle are now three points adrift of safety, while Swansea drop to 14th.
