Hull City have been relegated to the Championship after a 0-0 draw with Manchester United and Newcastle’s 2-0 win over West Ham condemned them to the drop.

The Tigers had to better the Magpies’ result, but goals from Moussa Sissoko and Jonas Gutierrez ensured Hull’s goalless draw with the Red Devils came to nothing.

Paul McShane and Robbie Brady had goals ruled out for offside while Victor Valdes denied Nikica Jelavic in the second half.

Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini was sent off late on for the visitors, but there were plenty of tears at the KC Stadium afterwards.

The Gunners took the lead in the fifth minute when Walcott hammered a shot into the top corner from a pass from Santi Cazorla.
