Everton secured another season in the Premier League after a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth, while Leicester City’s 2-1 win over West Ham United wasn’t enough to keep them up alongside Leeds United, who were relegated after losing 4-1 to Tottenham Hotspur.
Another dramatic Premier League finale saw 33 goals scored across 10 games.
Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure’s winner fired Everton to a vital 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at Goodison Park, meaning there was nothing their relegation rivals could do to avoid the drop.
Leicester City Relegated
Leicester, who beat West Ham 2-1, were on course to stay up at the halfway stage of the final-day fixtures after Harvey Barnes’ goal lifted the Foxes out of the bottom three.
However, Doucoure’s strike put Everton ahead with two (2) points, meaning their hopes of staying up grew slimmer.
