Dyche rescues Everton, Leeds and Leicester follow Southampton into Championship

Manos Staramopoulos • may 29, 2023

Everton beat Bournemouth 1-0 and ensured (again) their stay in the "big salons" for the 70th season in a row. Leicester and Leeds, signed their sentence on the last day

As Pep Guardiola's Manchester City secured another successive title and Arsenal finished second, Newcastle third and Manchester United fourth. interest in England shifted in the 38th and final matchday to who would be relegated and who would remain in the top flight.

In the "tail", seven-man Everton beat Bournemouth 1-0 and ensured (again) their stay in the "big salons" for the 70th season in a row. While 2016 champions Leicester (despite their 2-1 win over West Ham) were relegated for the first time in 9 years to the Championship. While Leeds will follow the same "painful" route, after three years of being in the Premier League.

At Goodison Park, Everton only wanted a win so they didn't need any other result. Sean Dyche's team may have had a hard time against Bournemouth, but they were "redeemed" in the 57th minute with a goal by Doucoure. This is how they won 1-0, winning their stay in the Premier League in the last match of the season, as they did last season.

Leicester and Leeds fell

So Leicester's 2-1 win over West Ham proved to be... in vain. The "foxes" paid dearly for their mistakes this year and are returning after several years to the second tier of English football.

But the same fate had the old great glory of the United Kingdom, Leeds United, which seemed to have unjustly removed the Argentinian Bielsa, as his successors in its technical leadership did not take care to correct the wrong texts. Leeds wanted a combination of results to stay in the Premier League. But Ryan Mason's Tottenham didn't leave her any room. He crushed her easily 4-1 at Elland Road. A victory that, of course, did not give the slightest to "spurs", who completed a heartbreaking season, losing (also) the "ticket" for the Europa Conference League which ended up in the hands of Aston Villa (2-1 at Brighton) .

Among the highlights of the last matchday, it was undoubtedly the victory of the excellent Brentford over the champions Manchester City with 1-0 (with Pinnock's goal in the 86th minute), which broke the unbeaten streak of 16 games of the "citizens" (s.s. they had been defeated since February 5 and 1-0 by Tottenham).

Shocking was the game between relegated Southampton and Liverpool, with the two teams offering a "satisfying" 4-4, in Roberto Firmino's last game with the "reds", in the presence of the Greek international left-back, Kostas Tsimikas in the lineup (replaced at 57' by Elliott).

Marinakis

Nottingham Forest (they drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace) had already been saved. So after the match the atmosphere was festive. The president and owner of Forest, Vangelis Marinakis together with Koulis Dourekas (he now works for the English team) and Sokratis Komninakis were at the side of the team and the players to congratulate them on the end of the season. Of course, they were all deified by the fans.
