How did Tottenham secure Premier League survival on the final day?

Unknown 0:12
Spur salvation from relegation. A final day escape. A Joao Paninha goal and a splendid Kinski save late on. A rare clean sheet and rare scenes of celebration for finishing 17th. That's what this season became all about for Spurs as it lurched from Bowterwest. The carrier finishes on a high. They are still a Premier League ever present and it's West Ham. Whose 14 years as a Premier League side comes to an end. Yeah, they made today as comfortable as they possibly could do. Deserve it, gets his team over the line. And if I was those Tottenham players who've been an absolute disgrace this last three months, they should be heading round this stadium to those Tottenham fans and apologising en masse. Because they come here every single week, those fans, 60 odd thousand of them to this great ground and this great

club and they've been underserved. But at least they have a time now. Tottenham Hotspur can reset in the summer, decide who they want on the bus, who they want off the bus, knowing that they at least have Premier League football and those fans can go home and rest easy tonight. Well they've survived as a Premier League side, but ten Premier League wins this season, their fewest league win in a season for 91 years. Now there is celebration, but there will be recrimination because this can't be allowed to happen again for Spurs. Too close for comfort. All together always. Well they have pulled it together on the final day. to get over that forty point mark. Forty one enough to do it. And their London rivals, five miles to the east, are the ones who lose their Premier League status.

Spurs have won a home game for the first time in 2026. They've kept a clean sheet here for the first time since they last won back in December. And most importantly, they have done enough to preserve their Premier League status with a final day win over Everton by one goal to nil.

And winning at home for the first time since December. Roberto to the rescue. Third time lucky for Spurs in their hunt for a manager who could steer them away from danger. Thomas Frank came and went. Igor Tudor didn't last too long. Roberto De Zerbi in the end has proved to be an inspired selection and it does feel as Gary Neville was saying there, it could be a real summer of change for head. at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And Roberto De Zerbi will decide on the path forward for this club, which they hope will see them challenging at the other end of the table. Next season. West Ham United relegated with 39 points, the highest the team has managed in relegation for 15 years, but not to be for them this season.

An inspiring role in the end for James Madison. What really needed today because at the end it was a rear guard having got their goal in front. But Brighton, what a strange story this is today. They started the day knowing they could be playing Champions League football or missing out on Europe. They've lost 3-0 at home to Manchester United and just been confirmed in the Conference League next season. That explains those celebrations. But the biggest winners of today. Beyond the Spurs, you'd have to say, are Sunderland who climbed from 10th all the way up to 7th and Europa League football next season. That is the moment it was confirmed at the Stadium of Light. They did their job. They beat Chelsea, who miss out on Europe altogether.

And a Sunderland team, who this time last year were planning for either the championship or the Premier League, are now playing in Europe next season for just the second time in their history. first since winning the FA Cup back in 1973. What a season it's been for Regis LeBrice and his team. And for Bornecherries who drew today, they don't get Champions League football. That was a possibility, but they needed uh Manchester City to win, they needed Liverpool to win. Neither of those things happened, but they do finish sixth, and that means Europe, for the first time in their history, confirmed they're playing Europa League football. There is Andoni Araola in the middle of those celebrations.
