Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says he is “deeply hurt” after defeat by local rivals Southampton left them on the verge of relegation – with the video assistant referee denying them an injury-time equaliser.
Sam Surridge fired home from a tight angle, but a VAR review correctly found that Callum Wilson was offside.
Danny Ings had put Southampton ahead and Che Adams blasted in a second right at the death to complete an agonising few minutes for Bournemouth.
They will be relegated on Tuesday if Watford get a point against Manchester City – or the Hornets get one against Arsenal on the final day.
“The key thing is while there’s still hope we have to believe, until such time as it is mathematically impossible,” said Howe.
“You never know in football, crazy things happen. That’s my immediate thought, but very disappointed. A big chunk of our destiny and our future was still sort of in our hands. It feels like that has slipped away a little bit.
“I am deeply disappointed, hurt, loads of different emotions are going through my body right now.”
