CHERRIES rewrote the record books as they earned promotion to the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Bolton at Dean Court tonight.

Here, we run through the decisive aspects.

1 – CHERRIES ARE PREMIER LEAGUE-BOUND

Forget all the ifs and buts, Cherries will be a Premier League side next season.

A failure to finish in the top two now would constitute one of the biggest shocks in English football history.

With their excellent goal difference, borne out of playing arguably the most pleasing and effective attacking football in the Championship, Eddie Howe’s men are solid in their position.

Let the party begin!

2 – CHERRIES HAVE THE HOWE FACTOR

In two separate spells, Eddie Howe has done a remarkable job at Dean Court.

He has always stuck to his principles and, ultimately, it has always paid off.

Liked and respected by the players, he crafted a group that was determined to make it to the top table.

In tandem with assistant Jason Tindall, Howe has shown terrific managerial acumen and his skills will serve Cherries well in 2015-16.

3 – DEAN COURT CAN BE A CAULDRON

No doubt about it, the atmosphere was terrific.

The home fans sung their hearts out throughout the 90 minutes and gave the players support that is so vital on occasions such as this.

More of the same in the Premier League would be a massive boost.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

The final whistle. The pure emotion of the pitch invasion. The subsequent celebrations.

These are moments that will live in the memory of supporters for a very long time.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

There isn’t one. Today was a good news day for Cherries.

Premier League football, however unseemly it might have once appeared, is on its way to Dean Court.

Let the celebrations continue long into the night.
