More from Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "I think this year we lost many points at home. But we have to finish the season the way we want to play. The desire the team reflects in this moment is very important for us.

"It's not easy for any team to win titles in a row in the Premier League because you have five teams who have the same power as our squad and money to spend. Of course I am sure next year we will be fighting again for the title.

"In the last four years this team won two Premier Leagues and finished second twice. We won the League Cup, the FA Cup, we must improve for the future but I never accept we are failing. It's not a revolution I think we need."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini tells Sky Sports: "I think for Sergio Aguero it is really important to score. He wants to be the top scorer this season but I think it's also the way he is playing. He is working a lot more during the game, moving more and receiving more balls.

"David Silva is always a talent that decides the important passes in the 90 minutes."

Aguero's hat-trick means he has 25 Premier League goals - five ahead of nearest rival Harry Kane.

On social media, you are always telling us how you know much more than Lawro when it comes to his weekly Football Focus predictions. On the BBC Sport Predictor, Lawro would have scored 80 points from the first seven games of the weekend - the highest average points for any team's supporters is Dartford FC with 45 points.

Lawro would have earned 30 points per match for correctly predicting the exact scores for Newcastle-WBA and Crystal Palace-Man Utd, and 10 points per game for predicting the correct results at Aston Villa and Stoke.

And Liverpool fans may wish to improve their side's position in the table - they are currently the least knowledgeable supporters in the Premier League in 111th place. Make your predictions for their match against Chelsea here.

More from QPR manager Chris Ramsey: "A lot of players today were playing with injuries that in most situations they wouldn't have played with.

"At the moment I'm very disappointed and gutted, more about the performance because that isn't really us. From my personal point of view I'd like to thank the owners and the fans for backing us like they have."

Chris Ramsey is asked if he wants to take the Queens Park Rangers job permanently: "Yes. I really do. It's a club I've taken to my heart."

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey speaking to Sky Sports: "We came here with a lot of hope, shot ourselves in the foot and gave away three set-pieces which they scored from. On the day we didn't really turn up and they are a very good team. The boys will be very disappointed in the way they performed. We are really feel sorry for the travelling fans.

"As you can imagine the dressing room is very, very quiet. I don't think it's a time for post mortems, our fate is what it is. The club is in a rebuilding phase now and would have been anyway regardless of today. There are lots of people at the club who will be extremely disappointed in the way we conducted ourselves today."

Here's QPR manager Chris Ramsey. He says he feels sorry for the club's travelling fans but doesn't believe the time is right for post mortems. Ramsey goes on to say the club is in a re-building phase. He adds that this is the time for QPR to "take our medicine".

Finally, Ramsey confirms he wants to stay as manager of the club.

You have got to feel for QPR keeper Robert Green. This is the fourth relegation of his career and second with the Hoops. The others were with Norwich City and West Ham United.

QPR had three shots on goals compared to Manchester City's 11. City's passing accuracy was 79.5% compared to 72.3% from their opponents, while the hosts enjoyed 59.6% possession.

The two players who covered the most ground on the pitch today are...

Joey Barton (11.59km) and Karl Henry (11.41km).

Manchester City midfielder James Milner: "We haven't been good enough for long spells of the season and we have come up short. But I'm sure we will be back. The quality is there and the hunger is there. There will be new faces in the summer, I'm sure we will be back."

Josh Gribby: Said for years Harry Redknapp was over-rated. This was his squad. He slipped out early to save his "reputation".

Shohidur Rahman: Are you 35 years old? Way past your best? Don't worry, QPR will give you a contract.

Credit to Joey Barton. He probably can't wait to get off the pitch but he summons his team-mates towards where QPR's travelling fans are seated. There's not many who have stayed but those who have applaud back.

"Confirmation of relegation for QPR. Their stay in the Premier League lasted one season. Today they didn't slip out, they have fallen out, hit for six. The seventh relegation in their history."

QPR are relegated from the Premier League after a shocking defeat.

Two minutes of added time.

One minute plus added time before QPR's Premier League life support machine is switched off for good. And rightly so on this evidence.

"This one-sided affair has a scoreline that is a true reflection of the day."
