A six-minute time delay between the two games due to a communication issue between officials at Spurs only served to deepen the agony for Irons fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FT: West Ham 3-0 Leeds <br><br>West Ham do their bit, but it&#39;s not enough as Tottenham&#39;s win over Everton means the Hammers are relegated from the Premier League. \u2b07\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/WHULEE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WHULEE<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bet365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bet365<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Ad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ad<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/F8VPX80jdQ\">pic.twitter.com\/F8VPX80jdQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2058596015557484939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-west-ham-drop-despite-final-day-win\">West Ham drop despite final day win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of what happened on the final day, the damage for West Ham was done a long time ago this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hammers opened the campaign in wretched style, losing seven of their opening nine matches and taking just four points during that time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That run included thumpings at the hands of Sunderland (3-0), Chelsea (5-1) and their relegation rivals Tottenham (3-0), during a run that cost Graham Potter his job, with Nuno Espirito Santo replacing him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuno certainly improved West Ham, but even once they gained some New Year momentum, they still suffered hugely damaging defeats to the likes of Liverpool (5-2), Brentford (3-0) and Newcastle (3-1), decimating their goal difference and leaving a mountain to climb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OFFICIAL: West Ham have been relegated from the Premier League. \u2b07\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KcGMj47x1c\">pic.twitter.com\/KcGMj47x1c<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Squawka\/status\/2058596316842692936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move to the London Stadium has been an infamous disaster.
