Tottenham Hotspur secured Premier League safety with a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day while West Ham United were relegated after Leeds’ 3-0 win, triggering boos and protests from West Ham fans directed at owner Sullivan. The relegation raises questions about West Ham’s future and potential departures to fund a summer rebuild, with Nuno’s future at the club in doubt, while Tottenham’s survival keeps them in the top flight and highlights the impact of Roberto De Zerbi’s direction as they plan to strengthen the squad to avoid a repeat of this drama.
Tottenham fell 2-1 to Chelsea, keeping their relegation hopes alive with a final-day home game against Everton; De Zerbi said his players produced a good performance, pointed to defensive lapses and Enzo Fernandez’s strike, and stressed there isn’t time to overthink it as Spurs prepare for the last match with optimism they can stay up.
Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge after Enzo Fernández fired them ahead from distance and then assisted Andrey Santos for the second; Richarlison pulled one back for Spurs, keeping the finale nervy. The result ends Chelsea’s two-and-a-half-month winless run and, with City’s result elsewhere, ends their Champions League hopes, leaving Europa League or Conference League qualification still possible on the final day depending on other results, while Spurs remain in relegation danger heading to Sunderland.
Chelsea host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge in a high-stakes late-season clash: Spurs need at least a point to avoid relegation, while Chelsea push to keep faint hopes of European football alive. Interim boss Calum McFarlane remains in charge with Delap leading the attack due to Pedro’s knock, and Spurs’ starting XI is announced with several academy players among the substitutes.
With West Ham’s loss, Tottenham need only one point from their final two games to secure Premier League safety and travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Guglielmo Vicario has returned from injury and is in contention to start, with Antonin Kinsky as backup; Solanke remains unavailable. Richarlison leads the attack, and James Maddison may come on as an impact sub once fit.
Tottenham drew 1-1 with Leeds after a late penalty shout where James Maddison claimed Felix Nmecha didn’t touch the ball; the VAR review reportedly found only a very slight touch, so the on-field decision stood. Maddison criticized the officiating on Instagram, fueling ongoing debate over VAR and whether the call could affect Spurs’ relegation battle.
Tottenham led through Mathys Tel in the second half, but Leeds earned a 1-1 draw when Tel clipped a Leeds attacker and Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted from the resulting penalty after a VAR check; Spurs squandered chances and had a late penalty appeal denied, leaving them two points ahead of West Ham with two games to play.
Tottenham led through Mathys Tel’s superb 50th-minute strike, but a reckless overhead kick from Tel gifted Leeds a penalty that Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted to earn a 1-1 draw. The result keeps Spurs in relegation danger, two points above the bottom three, as James Maddison returned from a year out and Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky made a crucial late save. A late penalty appeal involving Lukas Nmecha on Maddison was denied.
Roberto De Zerbi has sparked a Spurs revival, guiding them to back-to-back league wins by deploying an aggressive pressing game and coordinated rotations that disrupt Villa's build-up, create midfield overloads, and convert possession into chances as Spurs move away from relegation danger.
Tottenham produced their best display in ages, beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park after Conor Gallagher and Richarlison put Spurs 2-0 up before Buendía’s stoppage-time strike for Villa. The result lifts Spurs out of the Premier League relegation zone into 17th with 37 points, while Villa’s slide continues as they chase a European spot and endure a goalless spell. Next up, Villa host Forest in the Europa League semifinal return and Spurs face Leeds as the season nears its end.
Brentford defeated West Ham 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with West Ham hitting the woodwork four times before conceding a late Thiago penalty after a Mavropanos own goal and a Damsgaard finish. The defeat leaves West Ham just two points above the relegation zone and opens a possible escape route for Tottenham, who have a game in hand and can overtake them with a win at Aston Villa as the survival scramble heads toward the final fixtures.
Nottingham Forest moved to 39 points after a 5-0 win over Sunderland, eight points above Tottenham and six above West Ham, intensifying the Premier League relegation battle. With Leeds on 40 points, Forest and Leeds look safe, leaving Spurs and West Ham in a tight two-horse race for the final drop spot. Opta’s computer puts Spurs around a 61% chance of relegation and West Ham about 38%, while Forest and Leeds are essentially safe. Forest’s remaining games are Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester United and Bournemouth; Tottenham face Wolves, Villa, Leeds, Chelsea and Everton; West Ham play Everton, Brentford, Arsenal, Newcastle and Leeds.
Georginio Rutter's stoppage-time equaliser denied Tottenham a crucial win against Brighton, leaving Spurs one point above the relegation zone with five games remaining in the Premier League. Brighton had briefly led thanks to Xavi Simons’ strike, and Tottenham’s 15-match winless run in the league compounds their fears as they prepare for tougher fixtures (Wolves, then Villa and Chelsea) while rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham look to close in.
