West Ham United were relegated from the Premier League on Sunday for the first time in 15 years despite a 3-0 win over Leeds United. Tottenham Hotspur's 1-0 victory over Everton confirmed West Ham's demotion.
The hosts needed a win and a Spurs loss to survive, having started two points behind with a far inferior goal difference. Taty Castellanos gave them hope with a 67th-minute header, and Jarrod Bowen doubled the lead 10 minutes from time. Substitute Callum Wilson added a third in added time, but it was not enough as Tottenham held on.
West Ham finished with 39 points from 38 games, the highest tally for a relegated team since 2010-11. The club's downfall stems from a dreadful start to the season-taking only four points from their first nine games-compounded by years of mismanagement and poor recruitment. Fans chanted "sack the board" after Castellanos' goal.
Leeds United finished 14th with 47 points in their first season back in the Premier League.
