West Ham relegated from Premier League and Spurs stay up as Guardiola, Salah make emotional exits
West Ham was relegated and Tottenham survived on an emotional final day of the Premier League season when Pep Guardiola and Mohamed Salah made their exits after record-breaking spells in English soccer.
West Ham beat Leeds 3-0 but that wasn’t enough to climb out of the relegation zone because fourth-to-last Tottenham also won, 1-0 at home to Everton, to stay two points clear of its London rival.
That meant West Ham’s 14-year stay in the Premier League was over and Tottenham will be in the top division for a 49th straight season.
Guardiola’s decade-long tenure at Manchester City — which has included six Premier League titles — ended with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa that featured a mid-match guard of honor for first Bernardo Silva and then John Stones, two of Guardiola’s stalwarts.
