Manchester City’s Statement Win Over Bournemouth: Does This Triumph Seal Their Champions League Fate?
Table implications
This game meant very little for Bournemouth. Sitting 11th with 53 points, the Cherries had no hope of qualifying for Europe and for them, the defeat won’t have made any impact.
On the other hand, it was a crucial triumph for City, who have now broken past Newcastle to take the third place ahead of the final round and all but secured qualification for the Champions League. They need a point away to Fulham in the final round to be safe, though a defeat would leave the door open for Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa, all of whom are just two points behind, to overtake them and push them out.
