Roberto De Zerbi says Tottenham’s Premier League survival is the defining achievement of his coaching career after the club completes a late-season escape from relegation. On the final day, Spurs secure a 1-0 home win over Everton, a result described across reports as nervy and emotional. The victory is Tottenham’s third win in their last five league games and leaves the club safe by the margin of finishing two points above West Ham.
West Ham stay up despite also winning on the day, beating Leeds 3-0 at the London Stadium, while their points tally ensures they avoid the drop. Tottenham’s performance is portrayed as the culmination of a difficult period for De Zerbi and the squad, with the manager characterizing the season as one of suffering that only resolves in the closing moments. Reports also cite Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, who acknowledges the club’s situation remains “embarrassing,” even after the immediate goal of Premier League survival is achieved.
