Too little, too late for the Hammerspublished at 09:00 BST<\/p>\n

West Ham 3-0 Leeds<\/p>\n

On the other side of London, it was despair for West Ham as their 14-year stay in the Premier League came to an end despite beating Leeds at London Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Hammers needed to win and hope that Tottenham lost against Everton to have any hope of retaining their top-flight status.<\/p>\n

For a long while it looked like they would struggle to get the victory they needed as they put in a lethargic display in sweltering conditions, with their cause not helped by Spurs having taken a first-half lead against Everton.<\/p>\n

But the moment the home fans had been waiting for came in the 67th minute when Taty Castellano headed in Jarrod Bowen’s corner at the back post.<\/p>\n

It got even better for the home side with 11 minutes remaining as they doubled their lead, Bowen driving a neat, angled finish into the far corner.<\/p>\n

Substitute Callum Wilson added a third in stoppage time, and the Hammers had done their part but they still needed Everton to turn things around at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

That outcome failed to materialise as Roberto De Zerbi’s side held firm to win and retain their Premier League status.<\/p>\n

Relegation means West Ham will play Championship football for the first time since the 2011-12 season.<\/p>\n
