 The nine days since former drop points here to Sheffield Wednesday it must have felt like the longest nine days in the club's history. But over the weekend the stars aligned it's in their hands here tonight a chance for this club to break new ground. Under Eddie Howe when he was appointed here back in December 2008 the club were 23rd in League 2. Seven points a drift of safety. It has been a tremendous tale. Andy waiting till last can have its benefits but it also brings with it its precious. I do think there is pressure on this Bournemouth side tonight. I like many others believe that Bournemouth deserve to get promoted but there's still a lot of work to do here. We know Neil Lennon the way he played the way he manages their fighters. His team will be sat down here very much to be party boobers. Can Bournemouth really focus here and play their natural game? It's not easy when you're under pressure. Six years ago Bournemouth floundering the 17 point deduction and that they were seemingly heading out of the football league. We all know the size of the prize that's awaiting them if they could win here. Won't be assured but it would take some mathematical, extraordinary event for them to be denied were they two pull three points clear of middles. As it stands their goal difference is plus 16. So much talk about Bournemouth. Walter Noah here on the back with just one defeat in that last six. They're ten clear of the drop zone. 33 points behind Bournemouth. In these early stages. I'm going to try and keep Bournemouth at bay and to do that I'm going to try and get it forward towards Emile Heskey. Use him as the big focal point. Get him on the ball. He gets hold of the ball. He can bring the rest of those midfielders into the game. Real boost for Bolton to have Mark Davis back. He's had a couple of substitute appearances recently. No one's seen much of him recently in the first game for Bolton over the last couple of seasons really. But he's one of the most talented players in this league. I bet Neil Lennon will be looking at him. Possibility of of course keeping it Bolton. What they can achieve next season is all about next season for Bolton. Neil Lennon came in. He's kept them up. That was his first job. He's done that. He's got to revamp the squad in the summer. And really look to put a challenge towards maybe a top ten, top six finish next season. That's not going to be easy. He'll need players like Mark Davis. He's got Dean Moxley to thunder it clear. Adam LaFondre buzzing around. Pew. That's for Callum Wilson to try and get him behind Reem. Oh he's got the better of him. Could be a dream start here. Bogdan saves. Bogdan denies. The one thing is a centre-hard. You've got to be so careful against Callum Wilson. He's far too strong. You're not going to out-muscle him. Reem should just put this into the stands. But you try and nudge Wilson off the ball. It's not going to happen. And Bogdan does really well. He stays on his feet for as long as possible. Good stop. Richie. That goes the offside flag. That was an excellent stop from Adam Bogdan. That had to be as well. But this is what Callum Wilson does really well. When team mates have the ball, he runs the channels. He uses pace and his power just too strong for the centre-hard. Their real composure will be disappointed. He probably feels there's a centre-forward. He's done everything right. He pretty much has. He just watched the goalkeeper. Stays on his feet. Stays big. And that's why he makes the save. Bolton runs. And he got both goals in the meeting. The macro on earlier on this season. The force of that. Polaxiankirmigan for now. The position he plays. He doesn't play up alongside Callum Wilson. He drops into pockets of space into midfield. And that's why he gets one right in the mush. Frenchman, one of the more experienced players in this Bournemouth side. 33. He knows all about the pain of missing out on promotion to the Premier League. In fact, a few years with Leicester. Condra's head up. Here's Feeney, fauna from the Bournemouth player, of course. Kermigan. Hands there to cut it out. The duel between Reem and Wilson. He's not going to take any liberties this time. Certainly Leicester in there, Tim Reem. If you're ahead of Callum Wilson, you've got an opportunity to put the ball into the stands. Make sure you do it. Kermigan. Daniels. To Pugh. Sermon. A little deep. And I'll tell you the right shirts are bad, and they pack them in midfield here tonight. Bolton to try and keep the football league's top scorers at bay. Wilson. Kermigan. Feeney and Bogdan can gather. Moxie this time tries to just step in front of Callum Wilson and pinch the ball. Mentioned already, the strength of the centre forward just rushes him off. Keeps hold of the ball, Callum Wilson. Scores lots of goals, breaks them as well. This is why it gets into decent areas. Doesn't over complicate his game. He just puts crosses in when he can. That's come to Heskey. He's offside. Our Bournemouth success this season. The back four is very well disciplined. They hold a good line. They do hear it. Just encouraging Heskey just to step offside, experience centre forward. You've just got to step back before you move forward. The problem is that back four, very disciplined for Bournemouth. That goal's scoring, Callum. They've also outmiddled for a side. Got the best defence in this league. Sermon. And to Wilson. This is a purposeful run from Smith. Moxie came across to close him down. Take the tempo. It's in from Richie. Heskey. We've had a few minutes to look at it, Andy. Tell us a bit about the way that Neil Lennon is trying to negate the Bournemouth threat here this evening. What he's trying to do in general play when the ball's fairly deep. You see Dan's pick up Kermigant man for man. Making it hard for Bournemouth to get it into Kermigant's feet, who's playing off Callum Wilson. I think the three centre halves, they've played the system a few times, Bournemouth. The communication there, when there's no pressure on the ball, they have to get tighter to Callum Wilson. One of them has to very definitely get tighter to him, finding it too easy to break into space. They need to communicate better and be a lot better organised. Such a powerful finish to the season for Bournemouth, who look like they might just be stuttering. They went five games without a win, but they're now unbeaten in 11. Winning seven, drawing four of those. He has done such a tremendous job on many levels, but in terms of making his players perform oblivious to the pressure that a chase for promotion brings, it's been quite exceptional. I say that the last time here, here against Sheffield Wednesday, you're old club. Andy, they don't have a touch of the jitters late on, giving away a penalty, which it seemed might be so costly. Here's Adam Lafondre. That's exactly the link-up that Neil Lennon is looking for. Emil Heskey, the big target man of Flickon. And then the pace he Lafondre just spinning in behind him. Wards Heskey, Cook's got a significant touch back to Feeney. David, broken up by Sermon. Bannon can find Walker. Goes low, really important that that was cut out before it reached Adam Lafondre. That's really good pressure from Bournemouth. Actually, Bournemouth try and play out from the back. They'll be overplaying. Bournemouth snapping into the challenges. They're not sitting back on the halfway line. They're engaging Bournemouth high up the field. That is a good approach against a good football inside. It's forward. Oh, just wide. Greg was up for offside anyway against Adam Lafondre. But there's the menace that Bolton can bring. It was a really clever set-piece. It's nice and patient. Very tight call, actually. It's a good ball from Bannon. Slightly nudge at the far post there. David sets up calling. Lafondre touches that in. The flag will go up. I don't know, it's probably level with Adam Smith. It's a tight, tight call, but good stuff involved. Patient stuff. The chance very nearly came off the back of it. Cliving forward, as he so often does. Pew. Sermon. Wilson spins. Reims able to chip it away. That's good stuff for Tim Reim. When the play develops, he has to get touch tight with Callum Wilson. He was then. That nail was him just to pinch that ball and threw it away. Sermon. Let's come back here to Daniels. Wilson. Kind of chip it through. Richie, bogged down. He was able to block it away. Bournemouth haven't finished yet. They have now. Bannon's got it. Blocks has Bournemouth looked for this goal inside the first quarter of an hour that would really settle. Look what nerves there are. I think that ball would come a bit more cleanly to Matt Richie. He might have buried it. Slightly bobbled to his time getting to him. That's with just his body. But in bogged down, his positioning was excellent. Then we see the pace of Tom Walker. And the composure. Fantastic ball over the top. It looks like a nothing ball, but the important thing is it actually stays in play. It gives La Fondre something to chase. The important thing with La Fondre, he doesn't foul the centre half. Just jockeys him really back towards his old goal line. Just a poor touch and they get a pretty cheap set piece from it. Quickly, Davis. Deveets forward on Martin towards La Fondre. No offside flag that time. It's a magnificent piece of movement from Adam La Fondre. He's on his way before his teammate has even headed this ball. That's the sign of a truly great striker. La Fondre, the only Bolton player upfield. Moxie flies! Look worse than it actually was, but Deem Moxie made his mind up very early. And Mark Pugh controls this ball. He's going to go flying in and try and win it. Short worst, it'll just be a yellow car. It's a brilliant first touch from Pugh, just to control that ball. He's certainly late and he's slightly reckless as well. I'm very surprised the referee's only had a word there. That's surely got to be a yellow. He's shown by the referee tonight. This is the Simon Hooper. To defend this one from Daniels. This was a golden opportunity. The header on from Deveets is decent, but just watch the movement of La Fondre. He's on his way. He's certainly onside when that ball is headed. He's hoping he's appreciating the ball is going to come his way. He's not standing and waiting for it to happen. He's getting himself into a goal-scoring position. There's an arm on his shoulder possibly as well. He was honest. He stayed on his feet. He should really have scored. This is the earlier opportunity. Callum Wilson does well just to get his head up here and just poke the ball wide. Just takes a while to get to Matt Ritchie. That means Bogdan can use his pace and come off his line and make a good block. This is actually a ground on which Bolton have a good record. They've won the last three here. That has been the way that the away-siders enjoyed this fixture much more than the home one. The home sides fell to win any of the last seven league meetings. Our guest tonight, Harry Redknapp was manager here. The last time there was a home win. That was back in April 1991. Mark Davis. Walker. A talented team who has caused problems but doesn't get the free kick there. Daniel Signling-Wary wants it. Plenty of Bolton bodies back again. Arta. Sermon. Inviting Smith to join the attack. He'll take up that invitation. Many talk about the rags to riches story. He's been around Bournemouth from the very bottom league to the top. It has been helped by investment. That's the Russian investor. Maxim Denny. Who has helped behind the scenes bankroll this Bournemouth rise. That's the man who was spent wisely. He was reading his program notes. He says they've come such a long way in the back of hard work and in the footballing philosophy they've stuck to and they really have stuck to it this season. Smith showing a little too much to walk over. He says he has the strength to go beyond. He's still full of ambition. Richie now. Arta. Away from Dean Moxie. Now Sermon. A lot of space down this left for Pugh. That look to Wilson. Which is occupied by Mark Davis. Sermon to Pugh. He's going to have to do a lot of running tonight. Liam Feeney. The open supply lines for Emile Heskey and Adam LaFondre. But get back and Versi plays a right back at times because Bournemouth do love to get their four backs forward. On the midfielder forward here, Sermon. Walked away by Danz. When he walks forward they are patient. They will wait to try and pick holes in you defensively. They won't rush it forward. Over to him by Arta. Just over the top by Ann Kermigan. This is what Kermigan does so well. He times these jumps perfectly. Not necessarily the biggest. He's always on the move. Always looking to get ahead of defenders. That's why he gets his head on this ball first. Looking to really glance this. Anyway, he heads it too well. Possibly nudging his back as well. But he is very good in the air. He showed that already Neil Lennon during his playing and indeed his managerial career. Particularly at Celtic. Drive on the opportunity to puncture this Bournemouth party. There's the balloon. They're all ready to celebrate here. You get that feeling. They've done so much of the hard work. There's still a tantalising step to take. You've got a Charlton on the final day. A next home league match that Bournemouth play. Who knows who will be the visitors. It might be Bristol City. It might be Chelsea. I think Neil Lennon will be very pleased. The first half of this first half has gone well. There's been opportunities for Bournemouth. You probably expect that. They've sorted themselves out of the backbolt. They're making life very hard for Bournemouth to break them down. At the other end, with Heski and Lafondre, they always have a threat. There's Bannon to Dan. The two who were in trouble for some late-night shenanigans at the Bournemouth Bolton team hotel. But he's apologized and restored to the fray here this evening. Bannon, lovely ball in towards Lafondre, who is offside. We'll just look to Titecourt again. But that type of player, he finds himself really in between defenders. And that's not my accident. That is a very very Titecourt. Look at the stripes on the pitch. But he does this so well, he just drips in between centre-harmes and that's why he gets on the ball, that's why goals come his way. It'll be scored tonight, it'll be scoring in four consecutive games for the first time since he was banging them in all those years ago for Rotherham, 2008-2009 season. Arms from the Bournemouth midfielder, that's the reason that it's a free kick to Bolton. Bournemouth are finding it difficult at times because it's so congested with those three centre-harmes, if you try and force the ball into Kermigan or Wilson the gap's getting closed and in the wide areas Walker and Finia closing off Pugh and Richie, so they're finding it hard really to break through here, Bournemouth. Tent to give anything more than a free kick. I think David knows that Pugh's looking just to lay this ball off and then spinning behind him and David says you're going no further and to me, Moxie and David should really be booked for the two challenges they've made, that's clearly just trying to chip Pugh and stopping breaking forward, he should be booked. A challenge of the cynical variety. There are more for referees trying to let the game flow but there are certain challenges where you have to produce a yellow card. The players know exactly what they're doing and that was an instance of it. Sermon in ahead of Bannon, it's back with Sermon, now Kermigan. Kermigan goes for that little chip to the far corner and he's the one player that might be able to find a pocket of space just stepping off Callum Wilson into the gap between Bolton's back three in the midfield so Dacius is cheeky from there, just over hits it and these types of areas, Jan Kermigan can be a very effective player and he's got that vision, he has the ability normally just to drop that over a goalkeeper. Clown was clearly to start quickly, they usually do Bournemouth and get that early goal, signs that they could have caught Bolton a little bit cold but aside from Lancashire have settled settled into a frustrating mindset as far as those chasing promotion are concerned, Daniels. Eski, Eski it's taken a deflection and a kindly one for Arta Borrex a much better challenge from him this time. This is kind of a passage in the game where Bolton can just take the sting out of the match, they have the extra midfield at the outnumber Bournemouth in that central area three to two so they can just keep popping it around and the longer they keep the ball like this just for straights they're home players and the home fans of course to Pugh, quickly worked to Kermigan Pugh taken out off the ball there, the referee's playing advantage and Wilson take it, super stop from Bogdan, Wilson's kept it in it's back to Richie, but no this is a goalkeeping masterclass from Adam Bogdan, this is a magnificent stop he's actually moving well to his left, has to readjust his body get down so quickly but this is brilliant refereeing allowed the game to flow because Callum Wilson is in on goal and he's gone back and booked a V, absolutely right this is a quite magnificent stop, good ball around the corner from Pugh there's the foul, there's the booking Callum Wilson again, great timing of his run this is brilliant from Bogdan initially just to not give a penalty away but then he's quickly back onto his line he's actually moving across his goal to his left, Kermigan stinging the palms of Bogdan again magnificent piece of goalkeeping, deserves a bit of luck possibly gets it there just about half an hour play, final home match of the season for Bournemouth Daniels with the corner, I think he deserves another viewing great goalkeeper from Adam Bogdan as well just to get his palm on that ball and then get back and retreat to his goal lines so quickly and this is playback to Rich, he strikes it so beautifully the keepers moving to his left, readjusts magnificent strong wrist, a wonderful save for reason or another Adam Bogdan hasn't been a regular starter for Bolton this season but this is the first time he's started five games in a row he's stepped up on what is supposed to be Bournemouth's big occasion this is a performance from a Bolton side who Blackpool aside have the worst away record over the whole season in this league not playing like it here by Arta always Tim Reems to clear certainly made that, here's Adam Smith he's inconsolable here after giving away that late penalty that allowed Sheffield Wednesday to level to make it 2-2 Storing to beat, he's having his problems down this right hand side for Bolton, that's a clear yellow card he got away with one earlier as well when Pugh played around the corner he left out a trailing leg if I was Bournemouth now I'd be getting that ball out to Mark Pugh running at Dorian DeVee every time he gets it unit in the air, Emile Heskey DeVee taking it away from Pugh Davis Feeney with games here, Liam Feeney under Eddie Howe then shoulder to shoulder, Wilson and Reem there's Arta with Bolton around create a little bit of space found Richie here Smith Richie slip inside the penalty error from Pugh that was really good discipline from Bolton just keeping their shape really well they're not dropping too deep allowing Bournemouth to play in front of them across the face of them that's where you want them if they get in behind you in wide areas they become a major threat still so many issues whatever happens here tonight to be decided on the final day of the Sky Bet Championship we'll have two live matches for you from midday next Saturday best of the action on Sky Sports One Daniels wants the return Arta Harry Arta can do from distance he scored a few classic goals this season opens up nicely for him Daniels has to get tighter too he can't align a couple yards of space normally he would punish you from there a really positive play from the midfielder he doesn't strike it as cleanly as he'd like to Wilson can get a touch here could be interesting Moxie did his job decent ball in a little glance away from Arta but this is Feeney Hartz and Miles as their former player set his sights on their current goalkeeper Alta Borat that's David of a search deep into opposition territory one of the more regular suspects Smith Ritchie coming beyond Walker Pugh a sensational finish a talk about bottom doing okay with Bournemouth player across the face of them but once Matt Ritchie gets in behind them in a wide area I said it's a whole different problem you have defensively a little give and go from Ritchie he's in behind them Tom Walker doesn't do enough but how about the footwork here from Mark Pugh he manipulates this ball from right to left quite magnificent he leads Feeney really standing still it is an excellent goal a quite brilliant finish from Pugh Trent Salses of Bournemouth the wide players Ritchie and Pugh they combine here Bournemouth take the lead Eddie Howe who said in his pre-match interview to us he would love to be able to play down the significance of this match but he can't it is the biggest in Bournemouth's history and as we approach our time they're winning it you get with Bournemouth the times they're very patient you think well they're going nowhere we've got them defensively we're set up there's no problem there there's suddenly two passes they're in behind you a cross comes in and you're a goal down hitting for Bournemouth fans what Pugh had already promoted Bournemouth as good as look at that goal difference plus 17 now a 17 goal swing required on the final day if it stays like this how about Bournemouth seeing them enough this season they're not just going to I think sit back and hold on for a 1-0 win they'll continue to push forward that's their style can't see it changing they get a second and third here I think Bournemouth have done for in terms of where their season is in terms of how their squad is decimated by injuries across the board really the first goal will be so important showed great defiance in getting close to half time without conceding now they have gone behind but a kick on but we shall see once your save side have dominated the ball which they have they've created far more opportunities than Bolton Bogdan has made some brilliant saves he will clearly, fairly slightly deserve to be at never been in the top division of English football its entire history reach out and touch it now for optimism going forward for Bolton is that they are producing some very talented young players and Tom Walker he was starting now nine games in a row has been given a real run out behind Neil Leonard towards the end of this season he's one of several either in the team or around it Nibbison it underlines just what Bournemouth have been about all season long great movement of the ball great awareness of each other's positions a really unselfish pass at the death from Kermigan as well and what a finish for one of Bournemouth's star men Matt Ritchie never expected anything else but what's his ball breaks to mark you Bolton have a problem Callum Wilson should possibly get in but again he doesn't panic he's just patient he's holding the ball how about this for a pass for this layoff from Kermigan brilliant and Ritchie there's no panic he just strokes it into the bottom corner it's devastating for Bournemouth and he scored some wonderful goals this season that one takes him to 13 it is now his best ever scoring season and this is turning into a one of Bournemouth's best ever nights it stands stable even better that goal difference improves in Bournemouth's favour I'll see Eddie Hale there congratulating Callum Wilson for his hold up play and his vision to pick out Kermigan praising Kermigan as well for his unselfish layoff and that's what it's all about for Bournemouth it's a team game okay Matt Ritchie gets the credit for scoring the goal a brilliant goal but the team makes it going off save after save just for a moment there have been a few inside the gold sand stadium that would have thought this might be one of those nights and it might slip away but yet of course but it all seems to be going exactly according to plan as we approach half-time now I think the most teams and most managers you possibly get a bit nervous when the opposition keeper is pulling off brilliant saves but you've seen it all season long these two do not panic their team doesn't panic they've got a philosophy and they stick to it and they eventually trust that philosophy to break the opposition down and that's what's happened here way by Paveet as far as Arta Daniels two goals in the last five minutes of the first half one from Pugh and one from Richie real goals gripping with quality and the half-time score at Deancourt Bournemouth to Bolton Nill well first thing to let you know about is that there are no half-time changes so we are as you were in that respect where the Bolton can come back and capitalize on that something that has been one of the few weaknesses that Bournemouth have shown this season that is giving away leading positions no side in this division has thrown away more points when they have been winning matches but at this stage of the season halfway through that final home game with everything that hangs on this match can you see it happening Arta? not really not from the evidence of the first half but I do expect Bournemouth to start strongly here to go and get a third goal as Harry was saying there and really kill off Bolton's hopes he'd probably feel as an away-side he'll go three-nil down there is no way back but Bournemouth are a forward-thinking side they have been all season long control the nerves well in that first half can they get a killer third goal here? Seek Wilson he was flattened by Reem advantage play let's see if Bournemouth can take it Daniels it's a brilliant piece of refereeing great appreciation Simon Hooper just to let the game flow they could easily have just blown off and given the free kick Cacallum Wilson appreciated that Daniels is breaking forward let the game flow good stuff some fending off that's how the referees saw it I'm not sure that Tim Reem saw it the same way here's Bannon it's Richie back comes Walker still on here Pugh challenge came in it's been a whirlwind start to the second half and Bournemouth clearly going for the jugular here step over from Pugh has it come off last? it's a difficult one to actually pick out the referee was convinced it was a goal kick Bolton really do have to stand firm here because Bournemouth are coming on strong looking for that killer third talk so much about Mark Pugh Matt Richie, Cacallum Wilson but the back foot Bournemouth they are so strong Tommy Elvick, Steve Cook centre half pairing they started every game 45 games they play together as a pair and you talk about strong foundation defensive foundations those two no nonsense they've been absolutely outstanding and you can build teams around players like that with the course of the season and of course this is game number 45 for them they've conceded 45 goals scored well over double that broken records across the board in terms of their goals scoring this season competition is up to 111 now courtesy of that pair at the end of the first half Heskey at the near post still loose it's Bannon reflected wide for a corner there's a fabulous piece of defending here just talked about Steve Cook look how close he gets here to Emile Heskey when this cross comes in it's just about to smuggle them all away from the near post good strike from Bannon it's on target a bit of good fortune Bournemouth with the deflection on in the Frenchman running into a proud evening for so many who have been on the journey with the club there's Jeff Most in the Bournemouth chairman many have worked so hard in so many departments at this football club to turn what looked like a club heading for the brink and heading towards extinction just six years ago into one that is now heading for the elite is packed up by a fierce work ethic and there's a belief in the way they want to go about things in footballing sense Eddie Howard's very much been preaching for weeks the season has gone on we will not change as the finish line approaches this is Bournemouth that you probably heard him say before the game what I want tonight is a Bournemouth type performance well he's got it so far absolutely it's just interesting if they do want to get promoted which I'm sure they will what do they do the type of players they bring in possibly have to sign two or three but what type of players are they looking for they have to keep what they've done so well in the championship take that into the Premier League but they will need a couple of players I'm sure it's a delightful problem to have though isn't it Heskey trying to provide a problem there instead gifting a free kick that's really good positioning on the cover for Madame Smith here against Emile Heskey it's never going to be easy just going to out muscle you a really good defensive position from the right back just steps in front of Emile Heskey and his foul now is he look like he was by Kermit again referees allowed it to go on Q look at the take full advantage it's Fed Wilson back to Arta might seem ambitious but he's banged a few in from that set of range this season Arta he's optimistic in there he has plenty of options ahead of him as well and this is the sign of a good team when you're on the ball players who want to take the ball off you or the space opens up you can take the shot yourself and he's had a sensational season international recognition with the Republic of Ireland just as Matt Richie is on the ball here has been called up by Scotland on his first cap on his first visit to his country to Kermit again to Arta by Moxie from Arta's effort as the game is starting to get stretched Jan Kermit is finding himself in more and more space that's that great awareness and vision it's a devastating play when he's on the ball he's always looking for those killer passes Wilson couldn't get the touch Moxie can clear countering forward again he covers some ground both full backs do well that must be the fourth forward ball the ball they've played and they've yet to really secure possession Lafondre and Emile Heskey just can't get involved can't keep the ball Fulton can't get up the field there's a consequence now it's Smith's turn to get forward blocked by Walker Danse Tom Walker and if on his way back cuts it out Bournemouth field again again that gives a fairly small centre forward absolutely no chance of securing possession for his team and Bournemouth at the moment they're coasting through it's so so easy for them keeping possession well Bournemouth really struggling to get into the Bournemouth half for Heskey it's not too deep for Feeney who heads it wide there's a terrific ball in from Tom Walker but Liam Feeney has to go back across goal here maybe miss times it but he's under no pressure head this back across goal maybe Lafondre or Heskey can turn it in it might go in itself but that's just a very very poor header Ignition across the board for Bournemouth side have achieved this season a couple of players Matt Ritchie one of them in the PFA championship team of the year that was announced at last night's awards the other one not featuring tonight this is the Matt Adam Smith playing in his place Simon Francis suspended after picking up two yellow cards and a subsequent red here against Sheffield Wednesday watching brief tonight where he has certainly contributed to the cause watching something else on his phone but look like he's actually asleep Arta Wilson goes low nearly got the touch from Cook How has Steve Cook not turned this home but again Bournemouth don't just knock that set piece in aimlessly they patient and try something special and it very nearly works out not sure how Steve Cook has missed that goes actually with his with his right foot let it come across his body and just tap it in with his left Francis forward might come to Adam Lafondre Daniel Taylor to turn it behind in general play Barton struggling to create any major opportunities possibly a set piece could be their route back into the game going to send the big centre harsh try and get some quality in here with Tom Walker and put some pressure on that Bournemouth defence just about half an hour play here Bournemouth leading through those two late first half goals from Q and Richie Walker's corner Heskey to attack he was marshaled every inch of the way by Cook at the expense of another corner Brilliant from Steve Cook he knows where the flight of the ball is going to end up but he's shoulder to shoulder with Emil Heskey and that's why Heskey can't turn it into the net certainly seemed to be hell there he couldn't make any sort of access towards the ball that's the point he's making I think trying to go off his line to come and catch it is it Lafondre who's just calling on to him pinning it onto his goal line that ended up in the back of the net I don't think Bournemouth would have been happy at all experience much in his 21 year playing career Ida Good Johnson but an evening at Dean Court it's not one of those things Oscar Frelkeld right back is going to come on so he sense a change in formation no surprise not to see Mark Davis last the full 90 seeing how long he's been out Ida Good Johnson is the man who comes on for him looks like they're matching up 4-4-2 here Andy does make sense probably Neil Lennon is thinking well we're still in this game we probably shouldn't be but we're still in with an opportunity if we get a goal back you just never know so maybe matching up now playing 4-4-2 gives him a chance of really stifling Bournemouth and possibly with Good Johnson on now creating something themselves Walker gives it away dangerously Carmigan the tip it over well Bogdan does everything right he's back onto his line I think he's hoping this is going to sail way over the crossbar but this is dropping right under it the keeper actually does brilliantly just at the last minute to stick his palm up and then I talked about the vision the brilliance of Jan Kermigan that would have been some goal Bogdan it hits him more than anything else scrambled just about away Reem Kanhoice-Clear they got away with one there Bolton there's a huge opportunity for Callum Wilson comes back off the goalkeeper it's heading hands time for Callum Wilson should be touching this home there just doesn't make a decent connection with it if you had it done it was 3-0 there's no real surprise I did expect this even though there were 2-0 up I expected Bournemouth to continue to pile forward and try and score goal after goal it's been the way they've done it all season long okay they're under pressure team like Bournemouth when they relax they will continue to create chances eventually they will score some more Wilson wants it played in Pugh coming in from the left Pugh the angle was certainly there for him just to go back across goal I'm not sure what he means to try and catch Bogdan out it is near post here defense backpedaling they don't get close enough to Pugh just the 4 final connection started the ball rolling with an excellent finish across Adam Bogdan just about 5 minutes before the break 4 minutes 29 seconds later Matt Ritchie a wonderful team goal crowned it with an excellent finish Bannon who's on loan from Crystal Palace and towards Walker who's offside talked about it in the first half it's Bournemouth backline very well disciplined they all squeeze up on mass here I think they get away we've won though Eski's certainly offside but Tom Walker's that ball is played which is the time he's run pretty well Wilson has got the pace to get in here Bogdan comes a long way has an excellent job to keep him out he has been absolutely outstanding tonight made some great saves saw their great appreciation of where the danger was and has a really timely tackle need to play more man than ball talk about determination to get to the ball Adam Smith here chases this down it's not the greatest forward ball from Ritchie Adam Smith makes it here's gets the ball first just gets the toe and it just encourages the challenge that's desire real desire from the right back from Bournemouth the desire is there to win it back look at the work ethic there Callum Wilson not just sent it forward he wants to stick the ball in the back of the net and celebrate he sprints back there to win the ball back for his team scoop it away that's the one thing you have to be aware of certainly the wide players Q and Ritchie little given goals they play it and then they're on the move and as a foreback or an extra centre half you have to appreciate those players are going to run in behind you once they've played the ball on this way Wilson's pace has taken him in hard as shown Holton go down to 10 I don't think the referee's got any choice but he allows the game to flow not for the first time really good refereeing Jan Kermigan mentioning time and time again the weight of his forward pass fantastic that sends Wilson away and David at the back of Wilson has a major problems a clear foul for me again look at how he plays with his head up Jan Kermigan picks out the onrushing Wilson clear foul clear penalty they have been booked earlier about the straight red card shown for that's infringement on Callum Wilson greatest twist in the penalty history of Jan Kermigan just relaxes a little bit too much here is he bogged down putting him off or is he just simply a poor penalty seems to lean back tries to put it right in the top corner takes a bit of a chance maybe a 2-0 you can do that of course they have the extra man so it might not be that costly but Jan Kermigan with his ability he will be mightily disappointed with that just going to see the way that Bolton reorganised here made that double substitution sending on Ida Gudjonsson and the fullback Oscar throughout held dancing feet from dance now Gudjonson Richie takes it away from him tries to release Wilson again Richie smooths on the move ahead of him Biloxi I just wondered whether Bolton might change to a back 3 looks like they are going to stick with a back 4 and Tom Walker is going to have to drop back in players left back feel this looks to be set up for a long range effort from Matt Richie I saw what Matt Richie did against Sheffield Wednesday that was a bit more central I still think you might fancy his chances here if they do move the ball for him there's a fearsome strike we've seen that already with his left foot goes Richie the power of the accuracy on that occasion he strikes it cleanly enough but when you want 30 plus yards out you have to go for power it's incredibly difficult to produce that power and keep it on target always rising the numbers from Bournemouth are so impressive they are 93rd and 94th goals of the season 45th match about to take them to their 25th win Walker's delivery Mike Cook Bannon's first on the scene Walker so quick to crowd him out Kermigan gets his head up he got the angles right for Wilson Bogdan just had the edge you're right about the pressure on the ball as soon as it's played to Tom Walker Richie and Kermigan are absolutely flying at him to win the ball back at bay with 11 men but with 10 Bolton's task just gets harder Arta Pugh back to Arta Daniels now Arta he's in shore office around him so took the safety first option got it behind for a corner couldn't take a chance that's a young Kermigan rather than go in on the edge of the 6 yard box just held off hoping the ball might be pulled back towards him and he bumped down with a bit of communication could have just informed Walker just to let that ball go Daniels will help it back to Borax for much of the evening has been a spectator against the club manager by his former Celtic teammate towards the Premier League and yet again what a patient build up talks about it timing again with their goals all season long they don't rush it forward they take their time take their right passes at the right times and Callum Wilson deserves a goal he really does it's a clever little turn here could have stepped over this ball turns with his left very zig in his right that really does count a fantastic evening performance wonderful, wonderful goal Petition left available to them the process of making that replaces Adam Lafondre whose footballing career is very much entwined with this club Brett Pittman only fitting he should come on at an hour like this to replace Jan Kermigan the party has certainly started now difference that Middlesbrough must turn around on the final day a mere matter of 19 they really say that Bournemouth are up because it is possible who will say that they are not the Bournemouth story is how close they came to the Brents six years ago this weekend back in 2009 they won a match here against Grinsfield left from 21st in League 2 Steve Fletcher he's got a stand named after him here scored the winner in that match one of these standout players in the Sky Bet championship this season not just for Bournemouth but any club you choose to have a look at and that is Matt Ritchie absolutely outstanding 13 goals now this season 17 assists that's the most in the championship everyone has their views on the best player in the championship Matt Ritchie is mine Fraser comes on as Brunner launched this one in perfect for Matt to get on the end of it the offer just drifted away from his man here he mocks he not getting close enough it's really been the problem for Bournemouth tonight they've not been convincing enough defensively you can't allow anybody centre half centre forwards time and space in your penalty area forward balls from Bournemouth not quite good enough but Tommy L picker Steve Cook timing again have read the game perfectly take the ball down play it into midfield and Bournemouth move forward again Bournemouth fans are chanting we are Premier League waiting for the next season the champions elect Chelsea who look to take the next step towards the title live with us on Sky Sports Wednesday eight seven o'clock there's no stranger to those I think Harry Arthur saying it was his first challenge it doesn't matter if it's bad enough you're going to get booked and that's a clear pullback it's always a yellow good Johnson too keen to get on the end of that one up to a smaller party but it proved beyond his side been hamstrung most literally by so many injuries there's a lot of work to do the vault manager of course he was brought in to keep them in the championship he's done that these two is to really sort the squad out in the summit get things moving really trying to push on next season lots of clubs blackburn Forrest Cardiff Bolton need to improve next season difference would suggest it's a little early for a conger but sure we can excuse them you've waited your entire football clutch history for a taste of the big time it's tantalizingly close now Wilson Daniels Pittman waits in the middle Pugh couldn't get the touch kept alive though Arto couldn't find that bottom corner there's an apology there he probably should have released the pass there's 1-0 or 0-0 he probably does pass this ball but a 3-0 you've got the luxury of trying to score yourself he's trying to be too precise probably took it right in the bottom corner just overcooks it punctuated by injuries been on the fringes made one appearance since January but he gets another run out here final couple of minutes of Bournemouth's home campaign Mark Pugh certainly deserves a round of applause not just for the opening goal he got the ball rolling tonight but his performance this season long been absolutely outstanding like Matt Ricci those two wide players have been so effective for Bournemouth it's always going to be a struggle to keep Bournemouth out when they create that many opportunities and they work your goalkeeper that much inevitably you're going to get beat say 3-0 down all those attempts on target Adam Bogdan has had a great game under you as well Bournemouth have missed the penalty through Jan Kermigan the damage could have been greater Eddie Howe was thinking last night how is this game going to go ideally what would I want I don't think this is far off the mark the level of the performance has been absolutely outstanding they've moved really what they've done all season long they deservedly going to go into that final game in a very very strong position they are Premier League bound and they have played brilliantly tonight to put on a show when the pressure is on takes a special type of character and that is what Eddie Howe has instilled in his Bournemouth side that is why they are where they are it's only their fifth season in their history at this level finished tenth fell short last season this season for so long longer than anyone else in fact they've set the pace at the top their last time out against Sheffield Wednesday allowed Watford to capitalise and forced the issue as others slipped at the weekend now we're down to a matter of seconds 180 seconds away from an all but confirmed place at the top table of English football all the wonders that brings with it players just to keep the handbrake on a little with their celebrations at the end whether they'll be able to the fans certainly won't Arthur's on the move with his phrase up the action tells you this must have been pretty close just thought the chance had gone and we actually held on to it too long as well Colin Wilson talking the angle up for himself possibly just clipped the crossbars it goes wide good Johnson the supporters not waiting for the final whistle as Bournemouth's footballing dreams come true a stylish and emphatic win at home here against Bolton has taken them to the threshold of the Premier League they are effectively there it will take record-breaking and fantastical final day mathematics to deny them a 19-goal swing Jeff Mostin and Bournemouth can celebrate they've taken that final step and they've done it Andy here in real style absolutely quite extraordinary scenes you can't begrudge these fans celebrating okay mathematically Bournemouth aren't oh yeah but come on they're a Premier League side they deserve to be two absolutely outstanding all season long outstanding tonight they could have had seven or eight three is certainly good enough a brilliant performance Maxine Denim the Russian investor there almost in tears when he invested in the club it was to save it now the next home game they play here in the league they'll entertain one of the big boys in the Barclays Premier League such a wonderful tale that has happened so quickly fuelled by the footballing dynamism the thought of the one of the youngest managers in the game Eddie Howe his fans dreamt that they could get to the Premier League well he's delivered and they've done it by scoring the most goals winning the most plaudits perhaps not winning the most points but they will contest on the final day with Watford as to whether they can win the title most of the times when there have been pitch invasions here it has spelled a final day escape or something of that ilk club survival against the odds against administrations this evening it's all about celebrations for the impossible dream no one thought that Bournemouth could take this next step little Bournemouth from the footballing backwater I'll just look at these scenes you go about six years and they were battling to stay in the football league and that is a very short space of time to turn a club around and credit to everybody connected with Bournemouth the fans have certainly played their part sticking by their club they've got a great manager a young manager but a brilliant manager some fantastic players will be a credit to the Premier League they might have to add one or two but they're certainly going to play attractive football the philosophy of Bournemouth will not change now they're in the Premier League they may have to send out a search party for one or two being absorbed by the adoring crowd here Harry Arter, Kareb, Sholderheim the plan was to have a parade and a celebration after the match a show of thanks from the players to the support traditional in so many clubs at the end of the season a long time though not just for the players to get back to the dressing room but for the fans to get back to the stand a wonderful and memorable night and a historic night here at Dean Court as Bournemouth take the stride they needed towards the Premier League final score Bournemouth three, Bolton-Nill Jeff Marston taking the applause eyes betraying some of the emotion that Bournemouth are feeling tonight and why not as Harry Arter continues to associate his way through the crowd he's being held through cameras absolutely everywhere pictures will be all over social media over the next hour and into tomorrow as well but why not their 25th win of the season his goals number 93, 94 and 95 the top scorers in the championship and now they are all butting the Premier League they are there the goal difference is plus 19 he's been brilliant this season Harry Rednabb the former Bournemouth manager do you ever think you'd see the day hear the day when you would hear we are Premier League? no, it's just fantastic they thoroughly deserve it they've been absolutely amazing all year football, what you saw tonight produced all season just an absolute pleasure to come and watch you're absolutely spot on because if people hadn't seen any of Bournemouth they'd play because tonight they're on the first of the Premier League every week they score goals they've got away from home they scored five, sixes away from home this year they play fantastic football they're a real, real credit you know him, what's he going to mean to him? Jeff's the German and obviously he'll be delighted tonight very, very happy everybody's played a great part the owner he's put his money in, he's supporting the club the German but Eddie has just done an amazing job a fantastic young manager and he's bought players in and the thing is they've not spent big money the two central arms have come in bright and the left-packs have come in later they've all come the right-back Francis who didn't play tonight the suspenders have come from Cholton the little outside right has been at Portsmouth Swindon Pewey from Hereford or somewhere but the signs were there though weren't they? we wonder if they're going to get in the playoffs they beat us I looked at them they're a good side and I certainly felt this year they could make the playoffs but to make automatic promotion it's just been an incredible achievement and everybody here tonight this is the best team in the history of Bournemouth Football Club these players here deserve the freedom Eddie deserves to be the Lord Mayor he may well be he may well get the freedom he deserves it who knows but there's Max and David he looks like I might have been enjoying some Potspotanity your words not mine just a bit of conjecture he deserves it he's done a great job he's come in here moved into Bournemouth got involved with Eddie Mitchell buying him and Eddie took the club forward now he's took it on and he's done a great great job here he deserves so much credit for what he's done all I can say is I hope he remembers this evening because these Bournemouth fans here at Will because what a journey they have been on six years ago this weekend just gone they were scrapping for their very football league survival they are now celebrating the Premier League because they closed the gap on promoted Watford to a single point which means the title race does go down to the final day Watford with that inferior goal difference they're at home to Sheffield Wednesday to Charlton
