Mirror Sport – ‘Dou or die’
Monday’s back pages of course lead with the final day of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Man City were crowned champions ahead of Sunday’s game so the real battle was focused towards the bottom half of the table.
Southampton were already relegated, but who would be joining them was the battle. Everton managed to cling on to their top-flight football position with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth. But Leeds (lost 4-1 to Spurs) and Leicester, who won their game over West Ham (but needed Everton to draw or lose) didn’t do enough to stay in the Premier League – they now join Southampton in being relegated to the lower league for next season.
The back page of the Mirror reports on Doucoure’s sensational Everton goal (the one that guaranteed their survival). The back page also picks up on comments from boss Sean Dyche who says things must change at the club or they will continue to find themselves in the relegation battle.
