Bournemouth drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest on the final day, ending Andoni Iraola's tenure and their Champions League hopes. Marcus Tavernier cancelled Morgan Gibbs-White's 34th-minute opener with a second-half strike, but results elsewhere did not fall the Cherries' way.

The draw left Bournemouth sixth, safe in the Europa League next season under Marco Rose. Nottingham Forest finished 16th, comfortable above relegation, with an emotional farewell at the City Ground as the new John Robertson stand was unveiled before club legends.

Bournemouth's 6th-place finish marked the highest in their 127-year history, extending their unbeaten run to 18 league games. Gibbs-White scored his 18th goal of the season just days after being cut from Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad.
