Wayne Rooney’s Derby County have been relegated from the Championship.
The Rams’ fate has been confirmed following their 1-0 loss away at QPR. Strugglers Reading produced a stunning three-goal comeback from 4-1 down to draw 4-4 with Swansea, meaning they cannot be caught by Derby.
The drop to League One had been on the cards for most of the season for the Midlands club, who were docked a total of 21 points by the EFL earlier this term for accounting breaches and entering administration. Without the deduction, the Rams would currently be 17th, 11 points clear of the bottom three.
