Abdoulaye Doucoure has conceded that his match-winning goal was the "most important" of his career as his effort steered Everton clear of relegation.
The Blues midfielder rifled home the only goal of the game shortly before the hour mark as Sean Dyche's side held on to beat Bournemouth 1-0 and secure their place in next season's Premier League.. Leicester City and Leeds United join Southampton as the confirmed clubs who suffer the drop to the Championship.
It's been a mixed season for Doucoure but one where the Mali international has finished strongly under former Burnley boss Dyche. It appeared his Everton career was all but over under Frank Lampard but the 30-year-old was reintegrated into the squad following the Chelsea legend's sacking and has proved to be a key member of the squad in the battle to avoid relegation.
