Bilic’s men fail to claim Europa League spot

West Ham failed to secure a place in next season’s Europa League after losing 2-1 at Stoke City as Mark Hughes’ men came from behind to end the season by halting their six-game winless streak. A victory would have confirmed European football for Slaven Bilic’s men, but Southampton’s victory over Crystal Palace and the abandonment of Man United’s match against Bournemouth leaves West Ham in seventh.
