Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a sensational second half winner to secure Everton's Premier League status with a victory over AFC Bournemouth.
The Blues headed into the final game of the season knowing a win over the Cherries would keep their ever-present Premier League status intact regardless of the results fellow relegation rivals Leicester City and Leeds United would produce.
After a nervy first 55 minutes at Goodison Park which saw the Blues' best chances fall in the direction of Demarai Gray, Doucoure fired a spectacular strike from range in the 57th minute to secure all three points for the Blues.
VERDICT: Everton have been given a third chance that fans deserve but others do not

That wasn't without Jordan Pickford being called into action late on, though, as he denied Matias Vina superbly during second half injury time.
And with Leicester City beating West Ham United 2-1 at the King Power Stadium, the Maili international's strike helped Everton avoid its first relegation since 1950-51. Leeds United's hopes of pulling off a great escape were ended as Tottenham Hotspur romped to a 4-1 victory at Elland Road.
