London. The relegation of Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) was confirmed in the Premier League, England’s top football league, after a goalless draw between West Ham United and Crystal Palace on Monday.
Wolves are now 16 points behind West Ham United in the table and look set to drop down with just five matches remaining. Now Wolves will be seen playing in the EFL Championship next season.
Wolves, playing under coach Rob Edwards since November, have registered just three wins in 33 matches this season. Although there were some important wins against Aston Villa and Liverpool, the team was in danger of relegation for a long time. With this his eight-year journey in the Premier League ended.
Vítor Pereira, who was the team’s coach at the beginning of the season, was removed in November due to poor performance. Later Rob Edwards was given the responsibility, but he could not save the team. If Burnley, who is at the bottom of the points table, loses to Manchester City on Wednesday, its relegation will also be decided.

Tottenham Hotspur could not get out of the relegation zone even after a 2-2 draw against Brighton.
Nottingham Forest and Leeds United won to take themselves into a safe position.
