Tottenham Hotspur U21s have escaped relegation from the top flight of Premier League 2 after clubs voted through a change in the competition's format.
Injuries and other circumstances led to a difficult first half to the season for Wayne Burnett's development squad side as he had to put out relatively young starting XIs in the competition. Despite a return to form in 2023, losing just three matches this calendar year, Tottenham's U21s ended up being relegated on the final day from Premier League 2's division one as the second from bottom side despite their victory against West Ham United.
However, a turn of events has saved Spurs from dropping down to a lower division because the Premier League have confirmed to football.london that at their annual general meeting last week the clubs voted to shake up the format into a single-tier 'Swiss-style' format.
