LONDON - Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated from the Premier ​League on Monday after the ‌bottom side found themselves 16 points from the safety zone ​with five games left ​in the season.

The Midlands club have ⁠been well adrift after ​a terrible first half of ​the season in which they failed to win any of their first ​19 games and 17th-placed ​West Ham United's 0-0 draw at ‌Crystal ⁠Palace sealed their fate.

Wolves lost 3-0 at Leeds United on Saturday to sit on ​17 points ​after ⁠33 games and while Tottenham Hotspur's draw with ​Brighton & Hove Albion delayed ​the ⁠inevitable, Rob Edwards's side are now officially heading for ⁠the ​Championship.

Relegation ends Wolves' ​eight-season stay in the Premier League.
