West Ham United will compete in the qualifying rounds of next season’s Europa Conference League after failing to capitalise on Manchester United ’s final day slip-up.
A seventh-placed finish was guaranteed for David Moyes’ side on the final day of the season after losing 3-1 away at Brighton and Hove Albion, despite the Hammers taking a first half lead in the game through Michail Antonio’s stunning strike.
With Man United losing 1-0 away at Crystal Palace, a win for West Ham in Sussex would have put them in the Europa League next season for a second consecutive campaign, with Arsenal taking the other spot in Europe.
