Leeds United lost 3-1 against West Ham United on Sunday to leave them on the brink of Premier League relegation. Sam Allardyce had called the game at the London Stadium a “must-win” but, after taking an early lead through Rodrigo, the Yorkshire side were hit by goals from Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini.
They now sit in 18th place in the table on 31 points, one ahead of Leicester in 19th but the Foxes have a game in hand. Everton, who have also played 37 games are on 33 points in 17th spot.
Allardyce was brought in by Elland Road chief to perform a rescue mission with just four games to go but has collected just two points from his first three games after a 2-1 loss to Manchester City and a 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.
Now Leeds must beat Tottenham next Sunday and hope that Bournemouth, who have nothing to play for, do them a favour at Everton.
