West Ham United were relegated from the Premier League on Sunday despite a 3-0 win at home to Leeds United, as Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Everton confirmed the Hammers' demotion from England's top flight.
The hosts realistically needed a win with Spurs losing to stay up, having started the game two points behind their relegation rivals with a far inferior goal difference.
West Ham fans feared the worst after news of Spurs' first-half goal spread around the ground, but Taty Castellanos gave them hope with a 67th-minute header. Jarrod Bowen doubled the lead with 10 minutes left and Callum Wilson added a late third.
The win put West Ham on 39 points from 38 games, but they finished two behind 17th-placed Spurs meaning the Hammers were relegated to the second-tier Championship for the first time since 2010-11.
