Everton fight tooth and nail to ensure Premier League survival

Unbridled relief for Everton, gut-wrenching realisation for Leicester City and Leeds United. The Merseyside club did what they had to on a frayed final day of the 2022/23 season, just about squeezing past Bournemouth at Goodison Park to persist in the Premier League.

The 1-0 win, secured by Abdoulaye Doucoure’s emphatic second-half strike, ensured a 70th successive top-flight campaign was theirs.

Leicester and Leeds, meanwhile, slid from the vista view. Needing Everton to slip and themselves to defeat West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively, neither got what they wanted.

Everton’s win rendered redundant those other results. Nevertheless, Leeds were lanced 4-1 at home to Spurs, but to their credit Leicester did what they had to.
