West Ham United’s two-point advantage over the Premier League’s bottom three was halved on Saturday after a 4-0 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Hammers currently sit 16th in the table and while their league position did not change, results elsewhere over the weekend meant that they are now only a point clear of the bottom three.
Southampton’s 1-0 win over Leicester City however saw them climb off the foot of the table and while four teams separate West Ham and 20th place, just two points keep them from the Saints and Bournemouth, the current bottom two.
