West Bromwich Albion will play their next season in the Championship League following a 0-2 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday. The Reds meanwhile, are practically certain of finishing second.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard himself put the first nail in WBA's coffin from short range in the 28th minute.
The second goal, and with that the knowledge that it was really over for the Baggies, came shortly after the hour mark when Dirk Kuyt struck home from just outside the penalty area.
Although West Brom created the occasional chance themselves, it wasn't enough to avoid the defeat they had feared so much.
