This is a modal window.
With more than a hint of merciful release, Sunderland's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed as a late Bournemouth winner, combined with Hull's draw at Southampton, sealed the fate of David Moyes' side. An abysmal season reached its logical conclusion even if this was a game in which, for once, Sunderland created chances. But none were converted and so came to an end Sunderland's 10 consecutive seasons in the top flight.
The result hardly flattered Bournemouth, who moved the ball more smoothly and dominated possession.
