Bournemouth's Premier League fairytale almost complete

The fans are celebrating in Bournemouth, and rightly so. Their side has, for the first in club history, all but secured promotion to the Premier League.

Scenes of complete elation broke out in the stands, clubrooms, and flooded onto the pitch, following The Cherries’ 3-0 win against Bolton on Monday, putting them three points clear of Middlesbrough with just one match remaining.

Despite the chance of Middlesbrough levelling Bournemouth on points on the season’s final matchday, The Cherries also have a +19 goal difference on The Boro, meaning unprecedented wins and losses would need to occur to spoil the party.

Speaking following the match, club manager Eddie Howe stated:

“I’m an eternal pessimist but it would take some blow up from this position not to make it. We have one more game and we want to finish on a high.

“This club was heading nowhere, it was heading out of business and to make such a quick turnaround is impressive.

“You don’t achieve anything on your own. It has taken a monumental effort from the players and coaching staff.”

The scenes from the clubrooms post-match clearly display how much this promotion means to everyone invested in the club.
