West Ham have been relegated from the Premier League after a dreadful season.
They required a win against Leeds United on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign on Sunday and needed Tottenham, who were 17th before kick-off, to lose to Everton. Although West Ham held up their end of the bargain with a 3-0 win at home, they were relegated because Tottenham won 1-0.
West Ham were left with a nervous wait to discover their fate because Tottenham’s match ended 10 minutes later but, knowing the score, their supporters and players were slumped at the final whistle at the London Stadium.
The east London club will play in the Championship next season, bringing an end to their 14-year run in the top flight.
Nuno Espírito Santo took over when Graham Potter was sacked as manager in September but has been unable to steer West Ham to safety.
Wolves and Burnley will also be relegated from the Premier League this season.
