Leeds United supporter mischief, Struijk's Summerville gesture and off-camera West Ham moments | OneFootball

Leeds United’s impressive Premier League season ended with a 3-0 defeat at relegated West Ham United amid draining heat at London Stadium. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke felt it was a game too far without key players, despite Pascal Struijk and Jayden Bogle returning.

Leeds wilted as the hosts took charge, finishing 14th when a win could have meant 12th. Brenden Aaronson passed up a prime shot then produced tame efforts, and Joe Rodon failed to rise as a corner was converted.

Jaka Bijol was the pick at the back, and it was only 1-0 when he came off. Travelling fans kept a party mood, needling soon-to-be-relegated rivals with chants listing West Ham’s 2026/27 opponents before saluting the players.

Pre-match brought Hammers fan Darren Emmerson on the decks. Facundo Buonanotte tried and failed to shift Lucas Perri from a risky spot as a loanee lined up pot shots, the Brazilian unfazed. Leeds fans joined a tribute to those lost, a huge cheer greeting Billy Bonds, and the announcer later sought noise for Emmerson’s half-time set.

On the pitch, Ethan Ampadu made mischief by hinting substitute Callum Wilson was blocking his run-up for a long throw, then raged at a decision. West Ham’s first two goals were met with anger towards the board and David Sullivan. After treatment for a collision, Ampadu checked on Crysencio Summerville, and at full-time Struijk sought out Summerville with a consoling arm. Two young home fans left chanting no VAR, anticipating the Championship.
