Guardiola, Salah make emotional exits
West Ham relegated from Premier League and Spurs stay up as Guardiola, Salah
make emotional exits

West Ham was relegated and Tottenham survived on an emotional final day of the
Premier League season when Pep Guardiola and Mohamed Salah made their exits
after record-breaking spells in English soccer.
West Ham beat Leeds 3-0 but that wasn't enough to climb out of the relegation
zone because fourth-to-last Tottenham also won, 1-0 at home to Everton, to stay
two points clear of its London rival.
That meant West Ham's 14-year stay in the Premier League was over and Tottenham
will be in the top division for a 49th straight season.
Guardiola's decade-long tenure at Manchester City --- which has included six
Premier League titles --- ended with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa that featured a
mid-match guard of honor for first Bernardo Silva and then John Stones, two of
Guardiola's stalwarts.
Salah was given a standing ovation --- before he kissed the Anfield turf ---
during his second-half substitution in his 442nd and last game for Liverpool,
in which he grabbed an assist in a 1-1 draw with Brentford. The Egypt winger
finished his nine years with the Reds with 257 goals.
Arsenal has already clinched the title and closed its first
championship-winning campaign since 2004 with a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace
