West Ham draw relegates Wolves

WEST Ham's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night condemned Wolves to relegation from the Premier League and boosted their own survival bid to leave struggling Tottenham deeper in trouble.

Bottom of the table Wolves have long been destined for the drop and their descent into the Championship was confirmed by the stalemate at Selhurst Park.

Wolves are now 16 points behind fourth-bottom West Ham, with a maximum of 15 available from their last five matches.

After eight seasons in the topflight, Wolves succumbed tamely, winning just three of their 33 league matches to date this term.

Despite notable recent wins against Aston Villa and Liverpool, Wolves have looked relegation certainties for months and their eightyear stay in the Premier League is coming to an end.

Vitor Pereira, now in charge of Nottingham Forest, started the season in charge of the Molineux club but the Portuguese coach was sacked in early November after a terrible start to the campaign.

Former Middlesbrough boss Edwards was brought in but he had an almost impossible task and has been unable to work a miracle.
