West Ham United Under-21s have managed to avoid relegation from Premier League 2 Division 1 despite losing 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur.
The young Hammers headed into the game 11th in the 14-team league in which the bottom two sides are relegated to Division 2 of PL2. Leicester City had already been relegated, but the final spot had yet to be decided with West Ham and Spurs among three teams at risk of going down.
Wolverhampton Wanderers in 12th had already played all of their 26 fixtures, but barring an extremely unlikely outcome, were already safe with Spurs and West Ham to battle it out on the final day, with Tottenham three points adrift of safety and needing to win by three goals to relegate West Ham.
