The Merseyside derby was renewed for the 2023/24 Premier League season, as Everton clinch survival in dramatic fashion.
Everton reprised scenes from last season as they clinched Premier League survival in dramatic fashion after a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.
The Toffees hosted the Cherries at Goodison Park with their destiny in their hands. They had to win to continue in the English top flight next season, and despite a scare, they pulled it off, just about.
The stakes
Despite starting the game outside the relegation places, Sean Dyche's side had little margin for error, as losing could see them drop back down depending on results elsewhere.

I'm not going into the Championship - Iwobi says he will fight to make Everton stay in EPL
Alex Iwobi has declared that its a fight to stay out of relegation when they play Bournemouth at home in their Premier League match of the season.
Everton were on 33 points, two points above Leeds and Leicester City. They needed to win or better the result of Leicester at least, as the Foxes had a better goal difference.
How it happened
They faced a Cherries side who had nothing but pride to play for, and it was evident in the first-half as Everton had the bulk of the ball; however, they did not manage to find the back of the net.
The start of the second-half was a more cagey affair, as Everton scaled down but soon intensified their efforts.
