West Ham United's disappointing season has come to an end as they were relegated from the Premier League after a 3-0 win over Leeds United failed to save them. The Hammers' fate was sealed as Tottenham Hotspur held their nerve with a 1-0 victory against Everton, securing their Premier League survival.
The result ensured that West Ham will play in the Championship next season, alongside newly-promoted teams Fulham and Bournemouth. Tottenham, on the other hand, will begin their preparations for the 2024-25 Premier League campaign with a new manager at the helm, as Mauricio Pochettino is set to replace Antonio Conte.
West Ham's relegation ends a 10-year stay in the Premier League, with the club finishing 19th in the final standings. The Hammers' manager, David Moyes, paid tribute to his players, saying 'I'm incredibly proud of the team for the way they've worked all season.' However, the Scot acknowledged that the club's relegation was a 'bitter pill to swallow.'
Tottenham's victory marked a dramatic turn of events in the relegation battle, with the Londoners climbing out of the relegation zone to finish 16th in the Premier League. Everton, on the other hand, finished 11th in the final standings, securing a respectable mid-table finish.
The Premier League season may be over, but the fallout from this season's relegation battle is set to continue. West Ham will look to regroup and rebuild for their return to the Championship, while Tottenham will begin their preparations for a new campaign under Pochettino.
