Dominic Solanke maintained his recent run of good form with another goal as Bournemouth defeated Everton 3-1 on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Cherries in the top flight.
Eddie Howe’s side needed to win and hope that both Aston Villa and Watford lost in order to finish 17th and retain their place in the top flight.
However, Villa’s 1-1 draw at West Ham United was enough to keep Dean Smith’s team in the Prem and condemn Watford and Solanke’s Bournemouth to the Championship.
Solanke scored twice against Leicester City earlier this month to end the Cherries’ nine-game winless run and end his own wait for a Premier League goal.
