Relegated Three Confirmed

2nd May 2004

LEEDS UNITED joined Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers as the third team to be relegated from the English FA Barclaycard Premiership at the Reebok Stadium today.

Wolves Premiership Campaign came to an end yesterday, despite Wolves beating Everton 2-1 at Molineux. 

An 85th minute Carl Cort winner was enough to earn Wolves the three points infront of a packed Molineux, but Manchester City's 1-0 win over Newcastle subjected Wolves and Leicester to relegation.

Leicester drew 2-2 away at Charlton. Bent gave Leicester an early lead, before Charlton hit two second half goals to take the London club into the lead. However a Les Ferdinand free-kick earned the Foxes' a point.

Finally, Leeds United will join Wolves and Leicester in the Coca Cola first division next season. Leeds needed to win at Bolton Wanderers earlier today, but despite leading at the break, Leeds went down 4-1.
