West Ham sealed a 3-0 victory over Leeds on the final day, but the win could not stave off relegation. Goals from Taty Castellanos, Jarrod Bowen and Callum Wilson gave the Hammers three points, yet Everton's 1-0 win at Tottenham left them level on points and inferior on goal difference. The defeat ends a 14 seasons spell in the top flight.

The Hammers’ season began disastrously under Graham Potter, with a poor start that set the tone. A brief revival under Nuno Espírito Santo lifted them to 39 points, well above the average safety threshold of 32.4 points over the past nine seasons, but inconsistent performances and dropped points proved costly. Fans vented anger in the second half, directing chants at joint‑owner David Sullivan.

Bowen ended a 13‑game drought, while Castellanos’ header and Wilson’s late strike sealed the win. Despite the emphatic finish, the relegation officially drops West Ham into the Championship for the first time since the 2011‑12 campaign under Sam Allardyce. The club now faces a summer of squad overhaul and the challenge of returning to the Premier League.
