West Ham relegated after final-day Leeds win

West Ham United’s 14-year spell in the Premier League ended on the final day of the season despite a 2-1 victory over Leeds United at the London Stadium. The loss of a point to Fulham earlier in the week combined with Leeds’ win sealed West Ham’s fate. Leeds United secured their Premier League survival with a 3-2 comeback over Tottenham Hotspur, while West Ham’s 2-1 win over Leeds proved insufficient to avoid relegation. The London side finished 19th in the table, three points adrift of 18th-placed Fulham. West Ham United manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the club’s relegation in his post-match press conference. He acknowledged the team’s efforts but admitted the result against Leeds was not enough to change their status. Leeds United midfielder Illya Zabarnyi scored a late winner for the visitors, capping a dramatic 3-2 comeback against Tottenham. The result ensured Leeds finished 16th, six points clear of the relegation zone. West Ham United will compete in the Championship next season, while Leeds United secure their top-flight status for another year. Fulham avoided relegation by finishing 18th, one point ahead of West Ham.
