Salernitana completed their miracle escape from relegation despite being thumped 4-0 at home by Udinese, Cagliari going down to Serie B after only drawing 0-0 at bottom side Venezia.

Cagliari had to win to have any hope of staying up but failed to find a goal and finished one point and a place behind Salernitana just inside the drop zone.

Fans celebrated and invaded the pitch in Salerno after their team, which had been bottom for almost the entire season, were saved from relegation with the lowest ever points total of any team to ever stay up in Serie A history.

Cagliari will join Genoa and Venezia in the second tier next season.
