Leeds slipped closer to relegation from the Premier League after a 3-1 defeat against West Ham in their penultimate game of the season on Sunday. | Sport24news
Sam Allardyce's side blew the lead at the London Stadium as Rodrigo's opener was erased by goals from Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini.
Leeds, whose goal difference is three worse than Everton's, are likely to need the Toffees to lose to have a chance of staying up. Just three days from beating AZ Alkmaar to reach the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina, West Ham made six changes. Despite having little to play for with their own safety secured, West Ham responded well and Joel Robles had to use his legs to save Tomas Soucek's close-range effort.A section of Leeds' travelling support had come to east London dressed as nuns, but if Allardyce was hoping for divine intervention in the relegation battle, his prayers were not answered.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Brighton secured European football for the first time in their history with a 3-1 win against Southampton.Mohamed Elyounoussi got one back for already relegated Southampton after 58 minutes, but Pascal Gross wrapped up the Seagulls' victory.
