Tommy Elphick hails "unbelievable achievement" by Bournemouth

By Alex Meyers, Reporter | 27 April 2015

Tommy Elphick says that Bournemouth want to end the season by winning the Championship, after effectively guaranteeing promotion by beating Bolton Wanderers.

Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick has expressed his delight after the club all but secured promotion to the Premier League by claiming a 3-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers this evening.

The Cherries are now three points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough in the Championship table and have a goal difference which is 19 better than Aitor Karanka's side ahead of the final day of the season.

Only an unlikely set of results would prevent them from playing in the top flight for the first time in their history. and Elphick has paid tribute to everyone at the club for what they have achieved.

"It has been an unbelievable achievement from everyone at the club," Elphick told Sky Sports News. "The medical staff, the analysts, the manager - what can you say about the manager? And the lads of course, they have performed so well week in week out.

"We're up unless we concede 20 goals but we've got to be professional at Charlton and see the season out. The title is up for grabs and it would be nice to finish by lifting the trophy."

Bournemouth will end their season on Saturday with a trip to Charlton Athletic.
