Bournemouth, on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, earned a promotion to the English Premier League, with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the second-tier Championship, securing second place, with one game to spare. 

Bournemouth, together with Championship title winners Fulham, secured automatic promotion.

Striker, Kieffer Moore scored the only goal of the game in the 83rd minute as Scott Parker's side joined champions Fulham in the English top-flight next season.

Substitute Moore settled a tension-filled game with a neat finish from a superbly worked free-kick to seal second place.

It was only the Wales international's third goal of an injury-ravaged Bournemouth career since his January transfer from Cardiff.

"I'm speechless," said Moore. "When I came here I had one goal and then had the setback straight away, but I had the dream and thankfully it's come about."

They will return to the English top-flight league after two years, while Nottingham Forest will go into the playoffs for the final spot.
