Leeds United are now guaranteed to stay in the Premier League for one more season after the result between West Ham and Arsenal at the London Stadium.
The win over Burnley in the previous gameweek more or less made it certain that Leeds were not going to go down after they reached the 43-point mark.

However, they were still not mathematically safe as Leeds still need at least another point or results to go their way to ensure Premier League survival for one more season.
But they are now mathematically safe after what happened between West Ham and Arsenal at the London Stadium earlier today.
Leeds United are safe even before they take the pitch against Tottenham
West Ham’s defeat at Arsenal has not only pushed them to the brink of relegation, but it has also ensured that Leeds United will be back in the top flight next season.
The Whites are now out of West Ham’s reach, and they have now secured Premier League survival officially, with three games left to play.
Daniel Farke and his Leeds players will take the pitch against Tottenham knowing that they have fulfilled the remit for the season, which was to stay in the top flight.
Leandro Trossard scored in the 83rd minute to ensure Arsenal won all three points and kept their noses ahead in the title race with two games left in the season.
Leeds are now safe, while a result for Tottenham on Monday night will push them one step closer to securing Premier League survival as well.
The pressure is off the Whites
Leeds can now enjoy the rest of the season and play with flourish in the last three Premier League games with survival secured.
However, Daniel Farke would want his side not to let the intensity drop and try to ensure they finish as high up in the league table as possible.
Serious money is at stake if Leeds can finish a couple of spots higher up in the league table, which could make the difference in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Tottenham hope that a more relaxed Leeds side on Monday night could help them score a decisive win at home to push them towards survival as well.
