West Ham relegated

Tottenham Hotspur overcame Everton to secure the result they required to ensure Premier League survival on a day of nerve-shredding tension. Spurs needed a point to avoid their first relegation from the top flight since 1977 and send West Ham United into the Championship instead, and only their third home league win of a dismal season ensured they sent their fellow Londoners down instead. Joao Palhinha scored the only goal of the game rendering the Hammers’ 3-0 win over Leeds fruitless.
