Bournemouth was already part of the elite of English football between 2015 and 2020, but the boom for The Cherries did not last. After a year of reflection, the club had collected a selection this season that could compete again for promotion.
Trainer Scott Parker molded the team without any strong stars (or it has to be 36-year-old Gary Cahill) into a whole that is difficult to disrupt.
Dominic Solanke, ex-Chelsea and Liverpool, turned out to be the team’s goal getter, although the match against Nottingham Forest was decided by a substitute. Kieffer Moore scored the only goal in the 83rd minute.
Bournemouth can no longer be caught up by the competition with one more match on the program. The 2nd place, after the unapproachable Fulham, is already a fact. Nottingham, Huddersfield and 2 teams from the quartet Sheffield United, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Millwall play the play-offs for the last promotion ticket.
