7.8/10West Ham End Season in Style with 3-0 Rout Over Leeds at London Stadium
West Ham United delivered a dominant display to close out their Premier League campaign, sweeping aside Leeds United 3-0 at the London Stadium. Despite Leeds enjoying the lion's share of possession (58%), it was the Hammers' incisiveness in the final third that proved decisive, as they racked up 16 shots with 9 on target, compared to Leeds' 13 attempts and just 3 on target. After a cagey first half, West Ham broke the deadlock in the 67th minute and never looked back, adding further goals in the 79th and 90th minutes to seal an emphatic victory. Leeds, despite their territorial advantage, struggled to penetrate a disciplined West Ham backline and were ultimately undone by the hosts' clinical counter-attacking and set-piece prowess.

West Ham
West Ham executed their game plan to perfection, absorbing pressure and striking with purpose when opportunities arose. Their 4-2-3-1 formation provided defensive stability while allowing their attacking midfielders to exploit spaces left by Leeds' adventurous wing-backs. The Hammers' efficiency was evident in their 9 shots on target from 16 attempts, and their ability to convert chances in the second half proved the difference. The backline, marshaled by Mavropanos and Disasi, stood firm, while the midfield duo of Souček and Fernandes provided the platform for quick transitions. West Ham's attacking quartet, particularly in the second half, found their rhythm and punished Leeds' defensive lapses.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Leeds
Leeds controlled possession for long stretches, dictating the tempo with 58% of the ball and attempting to stretch West Ham with their 3-5-2 system. However, their efforts were blunted by a lack of penetration in the final third, as they managed just 3 shots on target from 13 attempts. The midfield trio kept the ball moving, but clear-cut chances were at a premium. Defensively, Leeds were exposed by West Ham's swift transitions and struggled to recover after conceding the first goal. Three yellow cards highlighted their growing frustration as the match slipped away in the closing stages.

Tactical Analysis
West Ham's 4-2-3-1 formation provided a solid defensive base, with Souček and Fernandes shielding the back four and allowing the attacking trio to find pockets of space. The Hammers were content to cede possession, focusing on shape and discipline, before springing forward with pace—particularly exploiting the flanks vacated by Leeds' wing-backs. Their set-piece organization also posed a constant threat. Leeds' 3-5-2 aimed to dominate the midfield and stretch play wide, but their lack of a true playmaker limited their ability to break down West Ham's compact block. As the game wore on and they pushed for an equalizer, gaps appeared at the back, which West Ham ruthlessly exploited.
Turning Point
Castellanos' opener in the 67th minute shifted momentum decisively in West Ham's favor, forcing Leeds to chase the game and leaving them vulnerable at the back.
Man of the Match
Valentín Castellanos
Broke the deadlock with a well-taken goal and led the line with relentless energy, setting the tone for West Ham's attacking display.

Where the Model Disagrees with the Odds: West Ham vs Leeds
The model finds value in the draw market, with a higher probability than the bookmaker's implied odds suggest. Over 2.5 goals also offers a positive expected value due to both teams' high season-long over rates, despite low public expectation. BTTS 'no' is heavily favored by the market, but the model sees more chance for both teams to score than the odds imply, so no value there.
