Topik: Premier League, Watford, Bournemouth
The pair were left to battle for their fate on the last day of league action but failed to stay up.

Bournemouth and Watford who secured promotion to the Premier League together in 2015 have been demoted together on the final day of the 2019/2020 campaign. The former despite sealing a win against Everton failed to stay up while the latter were defeated away to Arsenal.

Goals by Josh King, Dominic Solanke and Junior Stanislas at the Goodison Park restored a momentary sense of optimism for Eddie Howe's men who staged an imposing performance against the Toffees. However, for their survival to be guaranteed, the Cherries needed West Ham to beat Aston Villa at the London Stadium. 

The narrative was the same for Watford but the Hornets fell to a 3-2 loss in their trip to the Emirates to the see their hopes dashed. To safeguard their status as competitors for the next league campaign, Aston Villa took the lead in the 84th-minute thanks to a stunner by skipper Jack Grealish. Although Andriy Yarmolenko restored parity less than 60 seconds later, the 1-1 scoreline was enough to take Dean Smith's men to the promise land.

Below is the how the final Premier League standings looked like:
