Burnley have been relegated from the Premier League after losing to Tottenham, while Luton Town are also heading back down to the Championship.
Vincent Kompany’s side needed to win at Spurs on Saturday and have results elsewhere go their way to stand a chance to stay in the English top-flight.
The Clarets led through Jacob Bruun Larsen’s first-half opener but Tottenham came from behind through goals from Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven.
Burnley, who stormed to the Championship title last season with 101 points, have only recorded five victories from 37 Premier League games.
Manager Kompany said: ‘I’m very lucky to be surrounded by good people, hardworking players, staff and fans who have backed the club for generations. That’s who we try to do it for every weekend.
‘Today the Premier League is over but tomorrow we start day one of doing everything we can to get back to the Premier League.
‘The game has gone a bit like others have gone for us this season. We created chances but the one where we missed the final pass.

‘I’m not here sulking and feeling sorry for us but if you take every game, every season as a learning experience, this is step we need to get into our game.’
Luton are on the verge of relegation after suffering a 3-1 defeat to West Ham in David Moyes’ final home game in charge of the Hammers.
The Hatters also led through Albert Sambi Lokonga’s early strike but goals from James Ward-Prowse, Tomas Soucek and George Earthy saw West Ham turn the game around and effectively send Luton down.
Rob Edwards’ side secured promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs but, like Burnley, have found life tough in the top-flight, losing 23 games.
