West Ham 3-0 Leeds: Hammers drop out of Premier League after 14 seasons in top flight

  /  autty

West Ham have been relegated from the Premier League despite beating Leeds 3-0.

On a final day where only a Hammers win and Spurs loss to Everton would save them, West Ham did their end of the bargain with goals from Taty Castellanos, Jarrod Bowen and Callum Wilson. But there were no favours from former boss David Moyes with Everton, who lost 1-0 at Spurs.

The Hammers drop out of the top flight after 14 seasons. They last played in the Sky Bet Championship under Sam Allardyce in 2011/12.

A horror start to the season set the tone under Graham Potter and despite a resurgence under Nuno Espirito Santo, it was not enough for a great escape.

Maybe the Hammers can count themselves a tad unlucky as 32.4 points has been enough for safety on average over the last nine seasons. They finished on 39 points.

It was too little too late in the end as the fans' frustrations boiled over in the second half with songs directed at joint-owner David Sullivan.
