Thursday, May 28Thursday, May 28Tottenham Hotspur secured their Premier League survival with a 1-0 victory over Everton on the final day of the 2025-26 season, condemning West Ham United to relegation. The win left Spurs two points clear of the drop zone, finishing above West Ham despite the latter’s 3-0 win over Leeds United.
Roberto De Zerbi called the survival his "biggest achievement" after a season of turmoil, admitting the club had "suffered until the last second." Defender Micky van de Ven acknowledged the situation remained "embarrassing" but praised the team’s resilience . Everton, who finished 16th, avoided the bottom three but failed to secure European football for a second consecutive season.
West Ham’s relegation marks the culmination of years of executive instability, with manager Nuno Espírito Santo refusing to confirm his future after the club’s failure to escape the drop . Meanwhile, Chelsea’s absence from European competitions next season contrasts with Sunderland’s surprise qualification for the Europa League under manager Régis Le Bris, whose tactical flexibility and squad overhaul earned plaudits .
Elsewhere, Olympiacos claimed the 2026 EuroLeague title with a 92-85 victory over Real Madrid in Athens, ending a 13-year wait for continental glory . The result underscores the growing competitiveness of European basketball, though it remains overshadowed by the Premier League’s dramatic finale. With Spurs’ survival confirmed, attention now turns to their off-season rebuild, while West Ham face an uncertain future under new leadership.

Tottenham survive relegation with 1-0 win over Everton as West Ham go down
Premier League 2025-26 review: managers of the season From the experience of Emery to European-bound Le Bris there are a handful of managers whose work really stood outPromoted through the playoffs, Sunderland began the season as white-hot favourites to go straight back down but never once flirted with relegation and a win over Chelsea on the final day secured Europa League qualification. Their success was rooted in an inspired summer recruitment drive that prompted Le Bris to ruthlessly phase out most of his promotion-winning squad and replace them with a winning mix of raw young talent and seasoned leadership. Tactically flexible and a study in touchline equanimity, the 50-year-old Breton is an expert in tailoring his teams approach to their opposition but tends to favour lightning-fast transitions before getting the ball wide in matches against teams he expects to beat. Victories at home and away over Newcastle mean his legendary status on Wearside is already cemented and the concern now for Sunderland fans is that executives at more high-profile clubs will have taken note of the stellar job he has done in his two seasons at the Stadium of Light.

Relegation the inevitable outcome of West Hams relentless executive failure | Barney Ronay Once-proud club has forgotten what it was trying to be after years of mismanagement in a shopping-centre annexeIf youre going to die, die with your boots on. Belatedly and pointlessly on. But on all the same. It felt deeply fitting that West Ham should show some fight on the final day of the Premier League season, but that relegation should still be confirmed by events elsewhere, any pleasure at a 3-0 defeat of Leeds rendered irrelevant by Tottenhams win at home against Everton, as West Hams season flopped like an ailing dog in the mid-summer heat.There was at least some joy at the London Stadium, a reminder that joy is both the only thing that actually matters here, and also the precise polar opposite of the football-club-shaped blob that West Hams ownership has created. When Jarrod Bowen scored West Hams second goal on 78 minutes, charging past a Leeds defence already ranged about the place on sun loungers flicking through the latest Sally Rooney, there was a brief glimpse of some other West Ham, some other reality, a lost place of greater care and competence, other hands on the wheel.
