Analysis: Leeds enjoy end-of-season party

While the game finished with an air of despondency among the home fans, for Leeds it had been a 90-minute party in which they enjoyed a stress-free final day.

Daniel Farke's side had made certain of their Premier League status two weeks ago, meaning they were able to enjoy the closing stages of the campaign.

The scoreline would suggest that the players' minds were already on the summer but to their credit they did put in a performance, at least for the first hour of the match in which they had the better chances.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a close-range effort saved in the first half but once the Hammers took the lead, it was clear that the visitors had little desire to push themselves in the 30C heat for a result that would make little difference to the final outcome of their season.

The only disappointment for Farke is that this loss denied them the chance to finish the campaign nine games unbeaten, but that eight-game run without a loss will give them hope of being even more competitive next term.
