West Ham secured a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, confirming Wolverhampton's relegation from the Premier League. The result maintained De Zerbi's side's two-point cushion over Tottenham and kept them outside the bottom three. West Ham failed to capitalize on opportunities with Nottingham Forest and Leeds both winning, leaving their survival hopes hanging by a thread with fixtures against Everton, Brentford, Arsenal, Newcastle and Leeds remaining.

West Ham had chances to win, with Taty Castellanos seeing an acrobatic effort cleared off the line. Konstantinos Mavropanos could have put his team ahead but headed too close to keeper Dean Henderson. Brennan Johnson spurned an early opportunity for Palace, heading wide when unmarked. Palace extended their unbeaten run to four games, recording their 12th clean sheet of the season under Oliver Glasner.

The result ends Wolves' eight-year stay in the Premier League, while West Ham faces a challenging run-in that Opta rates as the toughest of all teams battling at the bottom. Nuno acknowledged the fight will go "all the way to the end" for survival. Bowen admitted they came to win but acknowledged "a point here is not the worst thing in the world" with difficult fixtures looming.
