Aston Villa fought for survival in the last round of the Premier League. Passions ran high in the 80th minute when Bournemouth scored against Everton and got one point away from the Villans in the online standings.

Aston Villa leader Jack Grealish scored in the 84th minute, making the team four points ahead of Bournemouth online. But after a couple of minutes Andrey Yarmolenko equalized the score with the help of a ricochet.

The Birminghamians were one goal away from a defeat that would have been fatal for them due to a worse goal difference than Bournemouth's. However, everything worked out, no more goals were scored. The Cherries and Watford and Norwich go to the Championship, and Aston Villa can start planning the next campaign.
