Chronicle EditorLONDON. — Bournemouth are on the verge of sealing promotion to the English Premier League for the first time in the club’s history after Monday night’s 3-0 victory over Bolton.
Eddie Howe’s side brushed aside Wanderers thanks to goals from Marc Pugh, Matt Ritchie and Callum Wilson at Dean Court and they now sit three points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough with only one game to play. The Cherries will be guaranteed of a place in the English top-flight if they take at least one point from their trip to Charlton on Saturday or if Middlesbrough fail to beat Brighton.
Even if Bournemouth lose and Middlesbrough win it would still take an extraordinary sequence of events for the team from the south-coast to be denied promotion. — AFP.
