West Ham were relegated from the Premier League despite a 3-0 victory over Leeds. The result required Tottenham to lose, but Spurs edged Everton 1-0, with Joao Palhinha scoring after reacting quickest to a rebound off the post. West Ham’s win included a low-quality first half, an opener from Taty Castellanos, and further goals from Jarrod Bowen and Callum Wilson, but Spurs held on and made West Ham’s effort irrelevant. Liverpool secured Champions League qualification with a 1-1 draw against Brentford, with Curtis Jones scoring and Kevin Schade equalising. Sunderland beat Chelsea 2-1 to reach continental competition, with Trai Hume and a Malo Gusto own goal putting them ahead before Cole Palmer replied and Wesley Fofana was sent off.
"The Hammers had to win and hope Tottenham lost but only half of that equation came off with Spurs edging past Everton 1-0. Joao Palhinha scored the only goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, reacting quickest after his header had come back off the post two minutes before half-time. There were one or two nervy moments late in the second period but Spurs held on, rendering West Ham's win irrelevant."
"Nuno Espirito Santo's side looked nervy in a low-quality first half but Taty Castellanos' opener paved the way for West Ham to ease to the win with Jarrod Bowen and Callum Wilson also finding the target. It ultimately wasn't enough and, as news of Spurs' win filtered through, Hammers fans knew their 14-year stay in the top-flight was over. "It hurts, it's a horrible feeling..." Jarrod Bowen reacts to West Ham's relegation from the Premier League to the Championship."
"Liverpool got the point they required to play in the Champions League after a 1-1 draw with Brentford at Anfield. On an emotional day as the home fans said farewell to Mohamed Salah and Andy Roberson, it was Curtis Jones who put the Reds in front but Kevin Schade equalised six minutes later. Sunderland were the day's big winners, beating Chelsea 2-1 at the Stadium of Light to secure a place in continental competition for just the second time in the club's history."
"Trai Hume and a Malo Gusto own goal put the Wearsiders in control and, although Cole Palmer pulled one back, the visitors' hopes were effectively ended when Wesley Fofana was sent off 17 minutes into the second half. Regis Le Bris' side finished seventh, one position below Bournemouth who drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest."
