Answer: They are relegated
England has a complex set of football leagues, along with promotion and relegation. The teams that finish in the bottom three of the FA Premier League are relegated to the Football League Championship, the top two teams from the Championship are automatically promoted.
The teams that finished 3rd to 6th in the Championship compete in playoffs, and the winner is awarded the third promotion spot into the Premier League. The bottom 3 teams from the Championship are relegated to Football League One. Promotion is virtually the same from Football League One to the Championship, as the Championship to the Premiership. Football League One has 4 teams relegated to Football League Two, with the top 3 teams from League Two automatically promoted with positions 4th to 7th competing in playoffs and the winner is awarded the fourth promotion spot.
In England there is a set of 6 levels that each use a concept something like this. One of the main differences between the Premiership and the lower leagues, besides popularity, is that the Premiership generally has 20 teams competing. The lower leagues all have 24, with the exception of Conferences North and South with 22 teams.

From Quiz: Debut Premiership Goals [2]
Answer: Manchester City score the winning goal
93 minutes and 20 seconds is the match time when Manchester City scored their epic winning goal, to achieve their first league title since 1968. The time of the goal is iconic to City fans and for the 2022-23 season, the time was printed into City's shirts.
Joey Barton was, indeed, sent off during the game but that occurred in the 55th minute. He disputed the red card decision and the length of time it took to remove him from the field of play contributed to the 6 minutes of added time which allowed City to come back from being 1-2 down after 90 minutes normal time to score twice in added time to win the match, and the Premier League title.
Mario Ballotelli wore his controversial tee shirt in different match. It was Ballotelli who passed the ball to Sergio Aguero to strike the winning goal, the only official "assist" that Ballotelli was credited with in his time at City. If you're only going to have one assist, you might as well make it an important one.
Pep Guardiola was not manager of City at that time. In 2012 that position was held by Roberto Mancini.
