Bournemouth scored three late goals to stun Everton 3-2 in the Premier League at Goodison Park and leave the hosts without a point from three matches.

Everton opened up a 2-0 lead in a seven-minute spell after the break with goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Bournemouth spent most of the game on the back foot, barely threatening the Everton goal, but with three minutes left they pulled a goal back when Antoine Semenyo poked home from close range.

In added time, Lewis Cook’s powerful header found the back of the net and Luis Sinisterra broke Everton hearts with the winner to leave Everton rooted to the bottom of the table.

Everton collapse to a 3-2 defeat in stoppage time after leading 2-0 through second half goals from Keane and Calvert-Lewin. They were the better side for the majority of the game and looked on course for their first points of the season, with Bournemouth unable to offer anything themselves. However, that all changed in the final stages as Semenyo pulled one back on 87 minutes, before Cook equalised in stoppage time as Everton grew nervous. The visitors then could’ve scored a couple more through Sinisterra and Semenyo, but they were denied superbly by Pickford. However, Everton couldn’t hang on for a point as Bournemouth completed the turnaround late on, with Sinisterra headed in the winning goal in the 96th minute to make it 3-2. The boos rang out at Goodison at the final whistle, as the Toffees made it three defeats in their opening three games and sit bottom of the table. They’ll face Aston Villa after the international break to try and pick up their first points, while Bournemouth move up to seventh and they’ll face Chelsea next time out. What an end to the game, we hope you enjoyed that one!

CHANCES! Pickford with two huge saves to deny Bournemouth a third goal! First the keeper denies Sinisterra from close range with a header, before the the hosts fail to clear the danger and the ball falls to Semenyo on the edge of the area.

16:34

It's getting a bit heated between Semenyo and Keane deep inside the Bournemouth box, the pair clash with a bit of pushing and shoving, before a few more teammates come in to separate the pair. The referee is going to speak with both of them.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:34

The visitors are still yet to test Pickford, who look comfortable with their two-goal lead and after conceding seven goals in their first two games, they'll be keen to keep a clean sheet today.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:30

Lovely cross into the box from the left by Ndiaye, looking for Calvert-Lewin, but Bournemouth just manage to clear the ball in the nick of time. Otherwise the striker would have had a free shot from close range.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:28

Decent chance! Ndiaye with another opportunity after a quick counter! He once again finds space and this time tries to curl the ball into the top right corner of the net. but he gets too much on it and the ball flies over the Bournemouth goal.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has only won two of his 14 league matches in August across his spells with Mirandés, Rayo Vallecano and the Cherries (D5 L7), while Bournemouth are winless in nine overall in August (D4 L5) since beating Aston Villa under Scott Parker on MD1 of the 2022-23 season.

SAVE! Kepa is called into action to deny Ndiaye! The midfielder races into the box and shifts the ball onto his right foot, firing a low shot at goal. However, it's too close to Kepa, who makes a good save.

CHANCE! McNeil again in the final third and he probably should have a shot at goal himself, but instead he plays a low cross towards Calvert-Lewin and Harrison at the far post. However, Kerkez just manages to send it out of play.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:22

Everton look comfortable with their two goal cushion, they haven't been troubled by the visitors and look like they could score a few more to see this one out.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:20

Bournemouth surely need to make some changes here if they are to get back into this game, they've been poor in the second half, with Pickford not having anything to do.

Assist Dwight James Matthew McNeil

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:16

CHANCE! Everton should double their lead! McNeil plays a lovely one-two on the edge of the box with Iroegbunam, before the winger feeds Coleman, who takes the ball past Zabarnyi and then only has Kepa to beat. However, the right-back lofts his shot just over the crossbar. He should’ve done better from there!

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:14

Bournemouth have won four of their last six Premier League games against Everton (L2), twice the amount they had in their first eight against the Toffees (W2 D2 L4).

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:14

That goal for Everton has really changed the atmosphere at Goodison Park, the supporters are in fine voice, getting behind their side. The home side are pushing forward in search of a second now.

16:10

Goal Michael Vincent Keane

Terrific run by Christie in the middle of the park to hold off Iroegbunam and drive into the Everton final third, the ball then finds Tavernier, who fires a shot at goal, but it is well blocked and goes out for a corner.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

16:04

The second half is under way!

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:56

This one could go either way, we just need to see more quality on the ball in the final third as the end product has been missing on far too many occasions. Everton are still looking for their first goal of the new season, they'll be hoping that'll come after the break.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:54

It’s goalless at the break between Everton and Bournemouth, with little to separate the two sides in what has been a cagey opening half of football, with few chances to open the scoring. We’ve only had one shot on target and that came through Ndiaye, who had a great opportunity to score following a corner, but Kepa made an excellent stop to deny him. Everton have had a few more long range shots at goal, through McNeil and Harrison, but neither have tested Kepa on his debut for the visitors. Meanwhile Pickford is yet to make a save at the other end, with the Cherries losing possession far too often with sloppy passes.

15:48

HALF-TIME: EVERTON 0-0 BOURNEMOUTH

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:46

There's going to be just one minute of additional time added on here. This would be a great time to open the scoring if either side can fashion one final chance at goal.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:46

McNeil is allowed time and space to turn and he decides to try his luck from distance, but his strike is easy enough for Kepa, who makes a comfortable save.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:44

Iroegbunam has been a bright spark for Everton in this first half, trying to get involved in everything in attack, but like his teammates, lacking in the final product.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:42

Decent half chance there for Bournemouth, with Tavernier having a go from the edge of the box, but he gets his shot all wrong and it flies high and wide of the Everton goal.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:40

There's not long left to play in the first half now, can either side break the deadlock before the half-time whistle?

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:40

The Everton chance a few minutes ago seems to have kicked Bournemouth into a life a little bit, they are showing more urgency to get on the ball. However, they are still letting themselves down with their sloppy passing.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:38

Bournemouth deliver a deep free-kick into the Everton penalty area, which Semenyo brings down at the back post, but his curling shot is then well blocked and the danger cleared.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:36

CHANCE! Everton with a great opportunity to take the lead, but they are denied by Kepa! A deep corner comes into the box by McNeil, which Calvert-Lewin heads back across goal and it falls to Ndiaye, who volleys a shot towards goal, but Kepa makes an excellent stop with his legs to make the save.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32

As we pass the half an hour mark here at Goodison Park, it remains goalless between Everton and Bournemouth, with chances few and far between so far.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32

The visitors manage to get a couple of good crosses into the box from the left wing, but Pickford is there to punch clear. On the last ball, the keeper seemed to go down briefly with a knock, but he's back up on his feet now and eager to continue.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32

Bournemouth have letting themselves down a lot with their passing, they have given the ball away so many times in midfield and in the Everton half, which just lets the hosts off the hook.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:28

Neither keeper has had a save to make yet, it's been a game of half chances so far. Everton are yet to score this season, but have conceded seven themselves.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:26

Everton have won six of their seven Premier League home games against Bournemouth, with the exception a 3-1 defeat on the final day of the 2019-20 campaign.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:22

What a tackle! Iroegbunam slides the ball in behind the Everton defence for Ndiaye to run onto in the box, but Araujo gets back and makes a great sliding challenge to put the ball out of ball and deny Ndiaye a shot at goal.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:22

There's not been enough quality end product in the final third by both teams so far, you'd probably say Everton would be the happier of the two at the start, they look more dangerous at the moment.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:20

Harrison links up well with McNeil down the right, before Harrison races inside and finds time and space on the edge of the penalty box. The winger fires a low shot towards goal, but he drags it wide of the Bournemouth goal, not testing Kepa.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:18

It's quite scrappy so far, neither team are able to keep the ball for a sustained period, with a few too many sloppy passes. Both look dangerous on the counter-attack.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:16

Blocked! Bournemouth break quickly on the counter and catch Everton open at the back, the ball comes to Evanilson in the box, but the striker can't get it out of his feet quick enough and Mykolenko makes a good block.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:14

Into the sidenetting! McNeil whips a deep corner delivery into the box from the right, which is met at the back post by Calvert-Lewin, but he only had a very tight angle to aim at and his header flies into the sidenetting.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:12

Everton are just the fourth Premier League side to lose their opening two matches in a season without scoring and shipping 7+ goals, along with Leicester in 2001-02 (9 conceded), Wigan in 2010-11 (10 conceded) and Norwich in 2021-22 (8 conceded).

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:10

Everton chance! Harrison races into the Bournemouth penalty area and fires a low drilled cross into the six-yard box, looking for Calvert-Lewin, but the striker can't quite reach it and the ball fizzes out of play.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:10

Good move by Bournemouth! They work it well down the left wing and a deep cross is whipped into the box towards Semenyo, but his volley flies high and wide of the Everton goal.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:08

It's the visitors who have seen more of the ball so far in the early stages of the game, but they haven't created anything in the final third yet.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:06

Lovely stuff from Semenyo, he has a great first touch to bring the ball down and then sprints over the halfway line and into the Everton half of the pitch. It takes a couple of Everton players to crowd round him to stop him, but ultimately they trip the winger and he wins a free-kick.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth

15:04

Everton are pushing up the pitch and putting Bournemouth under a lot of pressure when the visitors have the ball in their own half. The home fans will want to see a fast start from their side today after a poor opening to their campaign.
