LONDON: Tottenham secured Premier League survival on a dramatic final day of the season on Sunday as West Ham’s 14-year stay in the top division came to an end. Spurs kicked off against Everton needing, realistically, only a draw to avoid relegation for the first time since 1977 — as they sat two points clear of the Hammers with a significantly better goal difference. Joao Palhinha released the mounting pressure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before half-time, poking home after his header thundered back off a post.
