Highlights: Man City held at Bournemouth as Arsenal secure Premier League title
Bournemouthmight have been denied victory at home toManchester Citybecause of Erling Haaland's late equaliser,. the Cherries still had plenty to cheer.
Tuesday's1-1 draw at Vitality Stadiumconfirmed thatBournemouthwill be playing European football next season for the first time.
That will at least be in the Europa League, but they still have two possible routes to the Champions League.
The first will be opened up shouldAston Villabeat Freiburg in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.
Then. if the Villans finish fifth in the Premier League, Unai Emery's side will qualify for the Champions League as the Europa League winners.
The extra place in the Champions League. the Premier League earned through the European Performance spot would go to the team finishing sixth.
To finish fifth, Villa would need to lose atManchester City, andLiverpoolwin at home toBrentford.
IfBournemouthavoid defeat atNottingham Forest, orBrightonfail to win at home toManchester United, the Cherries would finish sixth. play among Europe's elite next season.
There are a couple of other routes, too.
IfLiverpoollose, thenBournemouthcould overtake them on goal difference. That would probably require a swing of at least seven goals - soLiverpoolto lose 3-0 andBournemouthto win 4-0.
But how about an end-of-season play-off to decide the final place in the Champions League?
That could happen ifLiverpoollost 1-0 to the Bees, andBournemouthwon 5-0 at Forest. Goals scored. goals conceded would be identical, head-to-head points would both be three, while they each scored twice away from home against each other.
