Burnley 1 Bournemouth 2: King and Wilson gatecrash Clarets' European party
Josh King and Callum Wilson cancelled out Chris Wood's goal as Bournemouth spoiled Burnley's European qualification party at Turf Moor.
Josh King and Callum Wilson spoiled Burnley's European qualification party with second-half goals to help Bournemouth earn a 2-1 win at Turf Moor on the final day of the Premier League season.
The Clarets were already guaranteed a seventh-place finish before Sunday's game – their highest top-flight position since the 1973-74 campaign, when they placed sixth.
It looked like they would end 2017-18 with a return to winning ways after four matches without a victory, before King levelled with a fine strike and Wilson netted the winner in injury time.
Chris Wood had given Sean Dyche's side a first-half lead, inadvertently diverting Ashley Westwood's goal-bound effort past Asmir Begovic in the 39th minute.
Jeff Hendrick squandered a good opportunity to put the game beyond Eddie Howe's side early in the second half - something they would later pay for.
After a wonderful season, Dyche and Burnley's attentions will now turn to building on their Premier League success next season and gearing up for a first European adventure since 1966-67.
