West Ham back in the relegation zone
After West Ham lost 0-3 at Brentford on the Saturday in a game in which nothing had gone their way with hitting the woodwork a record-equaling four times and highly controversial decisions by referee and VAR, Tottenham beat a sorry Aston Villa 2-1 on Sunday, claiming their second straight win, and are now one point ahead of the Hammers.
Also Leeds and Nottingham Forest won: Leeds are already out of sight having defeated relegated Burnley 3-1 on Friday, and Forest beat Chelsea by the same scoreline on Monday. These two teams are now already seven respective six points ahead of West Ham with only three games to play.
With title chasing Arsenal the next opponent, it has become increasingly difficult for West Ham, especially as the momentum now has swung to Tottenham and their new manager Roberto de Zerbi.
As Times sports editor Tom Clarke put it lately: “The good times are special but going down at least means you get the joy of going back up.”
