Bournemouth ended Forest's automatic promotion hopes via a Kieffer Moore strike.

Solanke shaped to shoot but instead rolled his pass to the unmarked Moore, who calmly side-footed a famous finish past Travers. Cue delirium inside Dean Court and, following a two year absence, little Bournemouth are back in the big time. Their need to win was greater but, as the minutes ticked down, it was all they could do to simply avert defeat and take this automatic promotion race to Saturday. He appeared to have evaded the offside trap before going down under a challenge from Travers but the flag went up and Bournemouth survived what would have been a convincing penalty appeal. First Philip Billing shot tamely at Samba after bustling his way into the penalty area and then Jadon Anthony also tested the Forest goalkeeper. Needing to beat Nottingham Forest here to secure the second automatic promotion place alongside Fulham, there was never even the slightest sense of Bournemouth playing to protect their position ahead of Saturday’s final round of Championship matches. A first-half collision with Nat Phillips would leave Cook nursing a very visibly bloody head injury for most of the match.

The Cherries' victory at home to Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest side on Tuesday confirms their spot in next season's top flight, along with Fulham who ...

We brought control second-half and as soon as we got the goal it was about keeping them out. Then we had a moment of magic from Kieffer [Moore] and we're in the Premier League. We were told to calm down and take the emotion out of it. “After last season it [play-offs] was something none of us wanted to do, we’ve worked hard all season, and it’s a great emotion because we put so much work in throughout the whole year. We never had control in the first-half, and we didn't want a basketball match. We didn't execute the game plan and in the second half we showed our dominance. One thing about this group, if we need a result we did deep and find it."

@samantha04_xox: All Forest aren't we... Aston Villa themselves know what it takes to drag a club with a rich history out of the Championship, however Forest now have the opportunity to pursue this dream without the stress of competing in the playoffs, as Villa did in 2019. Nottingham Forest face Bournemouth on Tuesday evening in a huge fixture in terms of the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Bournemouth are back in the Premier League, as they confirmed their promotion as Championship runners-up with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

While Liverpool will definitely be an opponent for the Cherries next season, as of yet Everton have yet to move away from relegation trouble, as they occupy 18th spot with five games still to play. Bournemouth were relegated in 2020 and were beaten in the semi-finals of the Playoffs last season by Brentford, who eventually went on to secure a top-flight spot. They will be promoted along with Fulham, who were confirmed as champions on Monday after a 7-0 hammering of Luton Town, while Forest will have to go via the Playoffs if they are to make a long-awaited return to the top flight.

In front of a vociferous crowd, Bournemouth got the game underway and forced Brice Samba into action inside three minutes. Dominic Solanke was fairly challenged by Steve Cook inside the area and the loose ball for Philip Billing who saw an effort ...

they've brought in Premier League officials in for this fixture and they've got a huge decision wrong. They had hard luck against Luton, they had a perfectly good goal ruled out there, so they'll feel as though they are owed something in the second half." Former Forest and Bournemouth front man Murray said: "It's huge.

Scotland star Ryan Christie and his Bournemouth team-mates clinched Premier League promotion on a night of drama against Nottingham Forest.

The promotion means Christie will become the latest Scot to ply his trade in the Premier League. Christie started for Scott Parker's side on a huge evening for the club as they left late to secure the most precious of three points. Former Celtic star Christie swapped Glasgow for England's south coast last summer in the hope of blazing a trail into the top-flight.

AFC Bournemouth's late victory over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening means they have effectively nothing to play for against Millwall on Saturday.

The person I am and with my staff there’s going to be an element of, ‘right, now we’re Premier League, what are we going to do?'” “I want to enjoy this moment, we’ve created an amazing memory for me, the family, the players and the young players have created an amazing memory and we’ll enjoy it.” It’s the same now.

I have dreamt of this moment as a kid and thankfully I get to live it.'' "Desperate measures, we’re 3-0 down and need to bring him on. "I've dreamt of this moment from the start and thankfully we did it. Some Bluebirds fans will begrudge him for tabling a transfer request three months ago, but others would look on with admiration for his climb to the top. And, after the match, he was left speechless after realising his dream had come to fruition. Moore was signed by Scott Parker in January as the manager believed the striker would give his side an end-of-season boost to get them over the line.
