Wolves Drop Confirmed: Eight-Year Premier League Stay Ends

Relegation for Wolves sealed with five games left 

West Ham’s point at Selhurst Park confirms Wolves’ relegation. Rob Edwards’ side sit 16 points from safety with five matches left.

Wolves’ eight-year Premier League run is over. West Ham’s draw with Palace leaves them 16 adrift with five games to play...

Wolves are mathematically relegated to the Championship after West Ham’s 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The draw takes West Ham to 33 points and clear of the relegation fight. Wolves stay on 17, now 16 points from safety. With five games left, Rob Edwards’ side cannot finish higher than 18th. 

They return to the Championship after eight years in the top flight - their first relegation since 2012.

Wolves thrived after their 2018 promotion, finishing seventh in their first season back in the Premier League.

They repeated seventh in 2019/20 and reached the Europa League semi-finals. But after losing key players to bigger clubs, they slid firmly into the bottom half.

They started this season bottom after losing their first five games. By halfway, relegation looked inevitable -  they went 19 league matches without a win.

  

Results improved after Rob Edwards replaced Vitor Pereira, but the Midlands club never looked like pulling off a miraculous escape.

It ends goalless at Selhurst Park, and @WestHam move a point further away from the bottom three ⚒️

Spurs Slip Deeper Into Trouble

West Ham’s point at Selhurst Park was also bad news for Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham.

  

Spurs looked set to climb out of the bottom three at the weekend, leading Brighton heading into stoppage time. But a late Seagulls equaliser left them 18th.

They then fell further adrift in the survival fight when Nottingham Forest came from behind to beat Burnley.

  

Spurs now trail West Ham by two points and Forest by five, with all three sides having five games left.
