Bournemouth boss O'Neil on Prem survival: It took every last drop of quality, energy, determination

Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil says the club threw everything at Premier League survival.

The Cherries were confirmed for next season despite Saturday's defeat to Crystal Palace.

O'Neil said, It's a big achievement, no doubt.

“You saw (against Crystal Palace), if we wouldn't have been at full tilt all season and the players hadn't been given absolutely everything, that is how the Premier League can treat you, ruthless.

Crystal Palace made us look like a team that was struggling. So the boys have given everything for the whole season, suffered some real tough blows, managed to pick themselves up and go again.

“A lot of hard work gone in, from players and staff and, yeah, that's how we achieved it, really.

“That's how we achieved it. We got everything out of absolutely everybody that we could.

“Every last drop of quality, energy, determination, managed to get it out of everyone."
