Dominant Bournemouth beat already relegated Leicester thanks to Antoine Semenyo's second-half double to round off their Premier League season.

Semenyo turned home from close range after Illia Zabarnyi nodded a corner across the box to finally break the deadlock for the Cherries in the 75th minute.

He then delivered a precise finish from the edge of the area, rifling in towards the near post, to add a late second and seal victory.

Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth, who missed out on Europe after their form tailed off in the second half of the season, were on top throughout and condemned Leicester to yet another game without a clean sheet in their final fixture before returning to the Championship.

Leicester thought they had worked an early opener when Oliver Skipp turned home from a Kasey McAteer cross in the first half, but the goal was ruled out for offside in the build-up.

The video assistant referee (VAR) soon proved Leicester's saviour, though, as Conor Coady evaded a red card after unnecessarily tripping Evanilson on the edge of the area.

VAR intervened once again to deny Bournemouth their opportunity to break the deadlock when Daniel Jebbison converted after a Semenyo cross hit Wout Faes, with the goal disallowed as Semenyo's delivery went out of play.

Leicester never really looked like doing much to threaten Bournemouth and Semenyo's late goals earned the Cherries a result fitting of their display.

In what could turn out to be Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game in charge of Leicester, this was a meek performance.

They did not manage to muster any efforts on target and ed just three shots. Bournemouth kept Jakub Stolarczyk busy with 19 shots, seven hitting the target.

It was a clear display of Bournemouth's superiority as Evanilson continually caused problems up top and the hosts' entire front line regularly worked Leicester's defence.

The Foxes managed to hold on until Semenyo finally broke the deadlock, but the goal had always seemed to be coming.

Apart from the earlier VAR intervention, only a stunning fingertip save from Stolarczyk shortly after the restart, when he denied Marcus Tavernier what would have been a superb goal, kept Leicester on level .

Bournemouth were confident on the ball throughout and created the better chances; they only ever looked like finishing as victors.

Leicester's only other major chance came in the second chance when they counter-attacked after Bournemouth gave the ball away, but the hosts rapidly tracked back and Jordan Ayew eventually scuffed his effort at the back post.

Late chants of "Leicester 'till I die" from the visiting ers rounded off the season before they return to the second tier after a campaign in which they finished 18th, 15 points adrift of safety. They were relegated last month.

The Cherries end the season on 56 points - their biggest total in a top-flight campaign.
