Leeds United player ratings vs West Ham with one standout amid poor display | OneFootball

Leeds United ended their season with a 3-0 defeat to West Ham United, who were relegated to the Championship after Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 win over Everton. The Hammers needed victory on the final day, delivered it, then were left crestfallen.

Leeds’ best opening saw Dominic Calvert-Lewin fail to convert, while West Ham repeatedly threatened from errors. According to Leeds Live, Jayden Bogle and Ethan Ampadu were among the brighter performers, though Jaka Bijol stood out.

The breakthrough came on 69 minutes when Taty Castellanos rose above the static Joe Rodon to head in. Daniel Farke made a raft of changes but his side conceded soon after the second batch.

Leeds then lost possession and Matheus Fernandes released Jarrod Bowen, who finished coolly from an angle beyond the outstretched boot of Pascal Struijk.

Callum Wilson added a third with a powerful strike in added time. Earlier wastefulness kept the score down, but the result could not save West Ham.
