Norwich remain rooted to the foot of the table; it is only a matter of time before their relegation is confirmed. Steven Gerrard's side beat Brighton 3-0 on March 10 to make it three wins in a row, but they have taken just one point from the last 15 on offer. As a result of their poor recent form, Villa's top-half ambitions have taken a hit.

The Canaries have failed to win there in their last eight Premier League fixtures. That said, Gerrard's side haven't won in any of their last five matches. He was sacked as head coach of his boyhood club in November after five straight league defeats.

The presumption is that we’ll see a similar setup to last week, with one or two possible tweeks to the lineup. The Canaries he leads into action, on the other hand, are less praise-worthy, but still capable of pulling off a win. There are times when dull is something a little more than the some of its parts.

Patrick Viera justified the admission by highlighting how Zaha became a different type of target man during the team's trip to Leeds. James Ward-Prowse, newly-minted king of the free kick, has the assist. No change in the score line at Molineux. but it hits the woodwork. This time, it's Ayew who sends a shot for Forster to push out, but Palace get another chance to score. Palace feel like they might be close - not Villa close, but very close indeed - to scoring, pushing hard. If they don't find the equaliser at Villa Park, their fate is sealed... No luck this time. No respite for Norwich, there's another chance! Danny Ings had replaced the injured Bailey and his first contribution was a fine crossfield pass which released Watkins from the halfway line. It is the first relegation of his managerial career. Aston Villa 1-0 Norwich

This is the Championship table as things stand, and don’t forget that Bournemouth play Forest on Tuesday in a potential humdinger. As things stand they are ninth, and if they hadn’t missed 521 penalties they’d be challenging for the title. Sam Surridge gets his second goal in the space of five minutes to give Forest some breathing space. There are just over 20 minutes remaining. Leandro Trossard, who got that stylish winner at Spurs recently, had scored another cracking goal.

The inquest to why it has gone so wrong for Norwich can wait for another day. Fair play to each of them - there will be brighter days. And as Burnley fired in two late goals at Watford, news spread of the impending doom. Ings’ first touch was to unleash Watkins with a searching ball. Much like their season. Aston Villa were the latest team to cut through the Canaries at ease, Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings with a goal each.

If either of those take a single point from their final matches or Watford drop any, they will join Norwich in the Championship next year. Dean Smith lost 2-0 to his former club at Villa Park to leave Norwich on the brink of the drop. Norwich City's fate has been sealed as the Canaries suffered relegation to the Championship with Saturday's loss to Aston Villa.

BirminghamLive brings you the latest Aston Villa news and reaction from the 2-0 win over Norwich City which relegated Dean Smith's team.

His last goal contribution came in the 3-0 win at Leeds, which was of course the last time Villa had won before losing four of their next five games, and they scored just twice in that time. Gerrard said pre-match that he wanted to keep giving the Jamaica international more opportunities to get 'into his own rhythm' and he started his second consecutive game against Norwich this afternoon. Reliable as ever, Martinez kept his 11th clean sheet of the campaign and his second in a row following on from the 0-0 draw against Leicester last weekend. Made a recovery from a collarbone injury to start his 11th game for the club. Norwich played with poise in the closing stages of the second period, but Villa held out for the win and doubled their advantage late on as Ings got his deserved goal. He combined well with Coutinho and Digne when he buzzed around the left-hand side of the pitch. The second half started as the first had ended with Villa the more likely of the two teams to score the next goal. The 18-year-old made his first Premier League start this afternoon and looked the part. With the help from a deflection off Sam Byram, Watkins' effort fired past Krul to hand Villa a much-needed advantage minutes before the break. It was Leon Bailey's effort which got bums off seats for the first time in the contest as he was denied by an outstanding save from Tim Krul. In a first half devoid of chances for either side, Gerrard would have been far from the happier manager going into the interval if the score stayed level. Ollie Watkins' goal in the first half was followed up by Danny Ings' strike moments from full-time as Emi Martinez kept his 11th clean sheet of the campaign.

Defeat was down to goals from Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings, the second somewhat cruelly created by former Norwich man Emi Buendia, though the killer blows were ...

Villa carried the upper hand into the second half. And inevitably the Argentina international would play a key role in the final blow, first setting up Ramsey for a shot which was blocked before creating the space for Ings to apply the final touch. Ings swapped passes with Watkins before Byram got a crucial touch to turn his shot wide, and from the resulting corner it was Ings again, heading against the post before Tim Iroegbanum – who was handed his first Premier League start – sent the rebound over. Ings came on to replace the injured Bailey and with his first touch, sent a long ball forward for Watkins. Milot Rashica brought a flamboyant save from Emiliano Martinez with a shot from the edge of the area before Williams hit a low drive which was much more straightforward for the Argentinian. Smith, the boyhood Villa fan who earned promotion with the club, walked out to a loud reception as fans on all sides of Villa Park chanted his name, but his mission here was to frustrate a Villa side who had lost four on the bounce before last weekend’s goalless draw with Leicester.

England international Ollie Watkins drilled home the crucial breakthrough in the 41^st minute, registering his ninth Premier League goal of the season.

The Englishman may have only came on in the 40th minute of play, but capping off a pleasing performance with a goal and an assist is always a positive. Nearly put his side 1-0 up, with his effort from outside of the Norwich box being pushed onto the bar by Tim Krul. Was composed when defending and kept threats down the right side of the pitch to a minimum.
