LONDON (Reuters) - Relegated Sunderland threatened to drag Hull City with them through the trap door after a surprise 2-0 victory on Saturday put a huge dent in their opponents' survival hopes. Should Swansea beat Everton later on Saturday, Hull would slide back into the bottom three with two games remaining. After two consecutive draws, City needed a win to bolster their top-four prospects and delivered a dazzling display of attacking football to move above Liverpool into third spot. Victory moved City to 69 points, above Liverpool on goal difference. After flirting with relegation for most of the season champions Leicester City moved into the top half of the table with the victory over Watford.
