An early miss by Michail Antonio allowed Aston Villa to survive in the top flight league after scrapping a draw against West Ham.

A point at the London Stadium was enough to save the Villians with Watford and Bournemouth relegated.

Bournemouth put up a late fight beating Everton 3-1 but it was too little too late and Eddie Howe and his men will now face life in the Championship.  Watford who sacked their third manager of the season after their West Ham defeat were relegated after losing 3-2 to Arsenal.

The caretaker manager put in charge was former Hammer Hayden Mullens and their CEO is Scott Duxbury who is the former Hammers managing director who was at the centre Tevezgate so perhaps no love lost there with West Ham supporters.

The real story of Aston Villa’s survival will centre around the failure of Hawkeye technology in the game between Villa and Sheffield United after the restart. That technology failure has cost Bournemouth their Premier League status and would not be surprising if the Cherries mounted some kind of leagl challenge at some point.
