00:01West Ham's 14-year stay in the Premier League came to an abrupt end despite a convincing 3-0 victory
00:09over Leeds United on the final day of the season
00:13with Jared Bowen admitting the damage had been done long before the final game of the season.
00:20The Hammers needed both a win against Leeds United and a favour from Everton against Tottenham to survive.
00:27They delivered on their side through goals from Tati Castellanos, Jared Bowen and Callum Wilson as well.
00:37But former manager David Moyes' Everton side were beaten 1-0 by Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to ensure
00:45West Ham's relegation.
00:47Speaking afterwards, Bowen said the outcome against Leeds United was painful.
00:51He reflected that while there were many reasons behind the collapse this season, responsibility ultimately rested with the players to
01:02try and rescue the season and remain consistent.
01:05Bowen added that the team had escaped danger in previous years but had spent too much of this campaign in
01:12trouble.
01:14Supporters' frustration spilled over during the second half against Leeds United with chance aimed towards owner David Sullivan as the
01:24reality of relegation finally set in.
