LONDON: West Ham United secured Europa League football for next season and their best ever Premier League points total after two goals from Pablo Fornals and a late Declan Rice strike propelled them to a 3-0 home win over Southampton on Sunday. "It's a massive day for the club, to get into the Europa League after what we went through last year. Now the Europa League beckons for us and it's a great opportunity." West Ham had to come from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 away in their last game thanks to two late goals and they made a lacklustre start on Sunday. West Ham will go into the Europa League group stage for the first time because FA Cup winners Leicester City finished fifth after a 4-2 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
