With this victory, West Ham climbed to 15th place, surpassing Everton and matching the points tally of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Meanwhile, Leicester suffered their fourth consecutive league defeat, leaving them in 19th place, five points adrift of safety.
Leicester leads the classification with 74 points, four points ahead of second-placed Leeds, who have only one game left. Ipswich Town follows with 69 points, and Southampton sits in fourth with 64 points, still having two games to play this season.
You know if you want to take up the challenge with them (City), of course we have to strengthen our squad. Congratulations to them, they have had a fantastic season.
