Everton match verdict after the Premier League match with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium
Everton added another nightmare to their collection of hellish trips to Bournemouth by snatching defeat from the jaws of a fortuitous draw.
Even then they were unable to take advantage, conspiring to a late defeat through a calamitous mix-up at the back. This 2-1 loss was about far more than bad luck, however. It is one that raises serious questions about how a side desperate for a shot of positivity will find the boost required to save it from another fight to the death.
Bournemouth carried more menace though, and while their opener was not inevitable, once the hosts took the lead Everton produced a tame effort to reply despite Dyche turning to his bench. But then came Neto’s mistake and Beto’s finish and a team bereft of ideas was handed a lifeline. Instead, the home side sparked into life and sought a winner. They found it amid chaos, Adam Smith crossing into space between the Everton back line and Pickford.
