"“We are holding on by a small thread but we are still holding on,” West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen told BBC Sport. “We have to see how the result goes on Tuesday. There's a chance that we are relegated then and we can't hide from it. The only thing we can do is wait and see what happens.”"
West Ham suffered a 3-1 defeat at St James' Park, with away supporters expressing anger toward the players. Some players responded with muted applause, while others showed visible frustration and disappointment. West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said the team owed fans respect and dignity, acknowledging the hurt caused by the loss. West Ham remain two points from safety but have played one more match than Tottenham. Their survival depends on Chelsea beating relegation rivals at Stamford Bridge, since a draw would likely be enough for Spurs. If West Ham are still in danger, they must beat Leeds on the final day and hope Everton win at Spurs.
